Description

Tregwynt is an early to mid-18th century gentry house, extended to the rear and at the north end in the later 18th century. The house is colourwashed roughcast with slate roofs and is arranged in an L-plan. The original front elevation, dating from the early 18th century, has six windows, featuring narrow eight-pane sashes, end stacks, and a door within the third bay. The door itself is of five panels, with the top panel glazed, and is set within a hipped porch with an elliptical arched opening and double doors. A shorter, five-window rear range, with a hip roof to the southwest, was added in the late 18th or early 19th century, possibly incorporating part of an earlier stair tower. This range has twelve-pane sashes and an off-centre arched stair light with small-pane glazing. A single-window range with a hipped roof was added to the south end, with a door below and a twelve-pane sash above.

A later, five-window, 18th-century wing was added to the north end, containing service rooms below a large ballroom. This wing has a hipped roof, end-wall stacks, very long fifteen-pane sashes to the upper floor, and shorter twelve-pane sashes to the lower floor. A door is situated in the second bay.

Attached to the west end is a single-storey farm wing, rendered with a ridge stack and 20th-century windows, along with a western outbuilding with a half-hipped gable.

The original range has oak collar-beam trusses supporting the roof. The rear range has a six-bay pine roof with close-spaced collar trusses. The earlier range contains two low-ceilinged ground floor rooms; the room to the left has a 19th-century marble fireplace, and the room to the right features two elliptical-arched recesses on the rear wall and a 19th-century slate fireplace with a grate dating from around 1880. Both rooms have panelled shutters and six-panel doors. An early to mid-18th century hall arch, fluted with a keystone, originally led to the staircase, which is now located one bay to the right. A similar arch remains in the corridor on the floor above. The present stair-hall to the right incorporates late 18th or early 19th century detailing around an arched window. The dog-leg staircase has close-spaced stick balusters and a thick ramped rail, which may be an early 18th century feature reused. A former kitchen is located to the north, and a narrow staircase to the attic is concealed within a wall.

The ballroom wing contains reinforced tie-beams to support the floor above. The ballroom itself is large and plain, with panelled shutters and a fireplace at the right end, though it originally had fireplaces at both ends.
