Trefithel Farmhouse

Trefithel Farmhouse is a two-storey building with an attic, constructed from squared stone and topped with a slate and asbestos slate roof. It features five window bays and has a central stair hall plan, with a reception hall to the right and a parlour to the left, each having a gable stack. There is a rear wing that contains a kitchen with a lateral fireplace, situated behind an intervening pantry. The farmhouse has later additions on the north side of the kitchen wing and at the south end of the main block.

The elevation is symmetrical, with the ground floor set between end rusticated pilasters on a plinth. This plinth supports a slightly pulvinated plat band that runs along the full elevation, breaking forward over the central projecting bay, which is also quoined and gabled. The probable plaster coving at the eaves is missing. The entrance features a six-panelled door within a porch, flanked by sandstone pilasters decorated with lozenges and zig-zags, and topped with a moulded cornice. Above the door and in the bays on either side are 12-pane sash windows. The central attic gable has 9-paned sashes, with one dormer on each side. The roof is hipped with gable end stacks.

At the rear, there are timber casement windows and 12-pane sash windows, some featuring projecting stone drip mouldings, along with a 16-pane sash window in the gable end of the rear wing. A boarded door on the side of the west gable stack leads to a secondary stair. There is also an external door on the north side of the kitchen, and the kitchen window has been reduced in width.

Although the building was not accessible during the inspection in May 1995, it was noted to have a stair dating from around 1720 at the back of a widened hallway with a window to the rear. The hall to the left contains three moulded cross beams and a lateral fireplace, which was originally approximately central to the room. The kitchen is slightly raised and set beyond a passage from a door in the re-entrant angle of the back wing. There is a cellar beneath the building.
