Description
North Trew Cottage and Trew Cottage are a pair of cottages dating from the 18th century. They have rendered cob and rubble walls and a thatched roof that is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right. There is a rendered brick axial stack and a projecting rendered rubble stack with a brick shaft at the right gable end. The cottages are designed as two-room homes. North Trew Cottage, on the left, has an entrance into a larger heated room on the right and a small unheated service room at the left end. Trew Cottage also features a heated room on the right with a small service room adjoining it. The exterior is two storeys high with a regular arrangement of four windows, featuring 20th-century two-light casements. North Trew Cottage has an early 20th-century gabled porch on the right with a part-glazed door behind it, and Trew Cottage has a similar arrangement at the centre. The interior has not been inspected.
