Description
Treyford Manor Farmhouse is a house dating back to the late 15th or early 16th century, with alterations and extensions in the 18th and 20th centuries, including a 1987 addition. The house is constructed of squared rubble in courses, with brick quoining to the angles and window jambs, a brick plinth to the front, and tile hanging to the upper floor at the rear and north end. Some areas are concealed timber framing. It has a hipped double pitched roof and two brick ridge stacks. The house is two storeys high with a cellar, and comprises front and rear parallel ranges.
The front of the house features a central doorway within a 20th-century wooden doorcase with pilasters and a pediment. Flanked by two-light casements, there are a three-light casement to the left and right of the doorway, and a further two-light casement to the left. All windows are set within brick header segmental arches. Six two-light casements are on the first floor. These are 20th-century metal frame casements in wood frames with rectangular pane leadlights. Below the third first floor window from the left is a flush panel framed with brick, likely a blocked window, and another strip of quoining further right. A similar quoining strip to the right of the doorway above a window marks the corner of the south end of the original house, which was refronted in the 18th century and subsequently extended to the south in a similar style. At the rear, there are similar two- and three-light 20th-century casements within brick quoined openings on the ground floor, and within tile hanging on the first floor. The south bay of the rear range was added in 1987, featuring an inset bay window on the ground floor.
Inside the north end of the front range, partial remains of the framing of the original hall house, thought to date back to around 1500, can be seen, including a three-bay open hall with a single bay at either end. In the 17th century, a framed floor was inserted, featuring a stop-chamfered bridging beam and stop-chamfered joists, alongside a stack with an inglenook fireplace within the hall, with a probable cross passage on the south side. The original roof was removed and outer walls heightened to provide a full first floor with a hipped roof, now renewed in the 18th century. Retained features include original dowelled storey posts and panel framing in the central spine wall (originally the external east wall), and partly surviving end bay cross frames, with a principal beam retained at the south end. The ceiling in the entrance hall has exposed stop-chamfered ceiling joists. The rear range retains some 17th-century framing. A 20th-century staircase also exists. The house was converted into cottages in the 19th century and is now a single dwelling.
