Trebick

Trebick is a house dating from the late 16th century, with 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of whitewashed rendered stone rubble and cob, with the front wall of the right-hand end rebuilt in concrete block. The roof is thatched and hipped at both ends, featuring four rendered stacks, two of which are from the 20th century. The original layout may have included two rooms and a through passage, with an adjoining shippon, although the exact position of the former passage is unclear. In the 20th century, the shippon was converted into living accommodation. There is a lean-to at the rear of the house.

The building has two storeys and presents a long, asymmetrical front with five windows, where the former shippon is slightly set back. The front door is located on the right side under a 20th-century thatched porch supported by timber posts. The windows throughout are from the 20th century and include glazing bars, except for one small earlier rectangular window to the right of the front door.

Inside, there is direct entry into the hall, which has an opposing doorway leading to the rear addition. The hall features a stack backing onto the wall with the former shippon, and a large fireplace with granite jambs and a chamfered timber lintel that has ogee stops. A late 16th-century cross beam in the hall has deep chamfers and large ogee stops, while the lintel of the inner room fireplace has been lowered. The house has 17th-century trusses over the right-hand end, which include large chamfered principal rafters, halved pegged collars, and a diagonally-set ridge. The trusses over the former shippon end also have collars pegged directly onto the principals and may date from the 17th century. The former shippon end has a lower floor level and features re-used cross beams and joists. An approximately central drain running axially down the shippon was discovered during renovations.
