Trean House, Leny Feus

Trean House is an 18th-century farmhouse, possibly with earlier fabric, that was extensively remodelled in the early to mid-19th century. It comprises a single-storey, three-bay main block with a projecting gabled entrance bay and a two-storey rear wing, together forming an L-shaped plan. The property was formerly the home farm of Leny House (listed separately) and is thought to have become detached from the Leny Estate in the early 20th century. It retains its original garden area to the south but is now separated from the former farm buildings to the rear.

The symmetrical south-facing principal elevation is dominated by the advanced, chamfered entrance bay, partially obscured at ground floor level by a gabled porch. A small, blind arrow slit window is positioned in the gablehead above the first-floor window of the entrance bay. Windows are located in the outer bays, with breaking eaves windows set above. The west and east side gables feature prominent corniced brackets that support slightly overhanging stacks at the gable apex. The first-floor windows of the rear wing are set close to the eaves. A modern flat-roofed extension and conservatory are located on the rear (north) elevation.

Inside, the property features low ceilings and a simple room layout, with a central hall providing access to flanking rooms. A stone winder staircase leads to the first floor, and timber four-panel doors and window shutters are found throughout.

The principal elevation is constructed from coursed rubble ‘pudding stone’ with raised, chamfered window margins and droved rybatts. The side elevations and rear wing are rendered, with the exception of the exposed stone above the rear flat-roofed extension. The main entrance features a timber-panelled outer door with a multi-paned upper section, together with an inner boarded door featuring a multi-paned upper section and a decorative letterbox fanlight. Primarily 12-pane timber sash and case windows are present, though some modern windows are situated at the rear, along with a timber multi-paned window with upper Y-tracery and pointed arch in the porch. The roof is pitched grey slate, with corbelled skewputts to gable ends, dormerheads and the gabled entrance bay, overlapping stone skews to the gableheads of the entrance bay and dormers, and painted spike finials. Moulded, raised skews are present to the gables of the main block. The gable apex stacks have a shouldered lower section and a chamfered upper section with a centred niche, originally likely ashlar but now heavily rendered, with clay cans.
