Description
Trewern is a building dating from around 1700, featuring two storeys and a 19th-century lower service wing at the rear. The front is made of red brick with a platt band on a rubble plinth, constructed with random bonding and thin, poorly-fired bricks, which are among the earliest surviving examples in Radnorshire. The rear elevations are made of rubble and the left gable end is rendered. The building has two projecting brick end stacks with panelled upper sections and a hipped slate roof with boxed eaves.
The front has five windows, which are new eight-pane tall sashes with horns, set beneath yellow brick cambered lintels. The central front door features tall thin panels with transom lights and a plain cambered overlight. There is a 19th-century trelliswork porch on a stone plinth with pierced bargeboards. The rear windows are all modern and set under brick arches, with some older blocked openings still visible.
Inside, there are four-panel doors and a dog-leg staircase with plain stick balusters, a chamfered newel, and an open string with template brackets. The underside of the stairs is panelled, and there are steps leading down to the cellar. The left-hand room has a large open fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel and dressed stone jambs, along with an exposed beam that has a narrow chamfer.
