Old farmhouse at Trewyn Farm

Red sandstone rubble with stone tile roof. Single storey single depth rectangular block with three rooms, the right hand of which is entered separately. The main elevation has a plain plank door on the left in a lobby entry position against the stack. A small two light casement to the right of this and a smaller one for the central room, the right hand room has a blind wall. Partially damaged stone roof with a stone stack on the left gable, this has weathering suggestive of a thatched roof. The left gable is blind, the right gable has a doorway with overlight, a low window with a drip over, and a four pane casement in the gable above. The rear wall is blind.

The interior suggests that the house was an open hall as the roof is heavily smoke blackened. Three small rooms, two inter-connecting, one entered separately. Stack inserted on south gable with the remains of a C19 iron range, to the right of this is the base of a copper. Two raised cruck trusses with ties and heavy trenched purlins, The crucks demonstrate that the front wall has been heightened, and there are slight secondary rafters. All these timbers are smoke blackened, in both the rooms, which does seem rather suspicious, since it includes those added when the pitch of the roof was changed for the stone tiles, and the chimney already seems to have been in place when the roof was still thatched. It was impossible to inspect the second and third rooms properly.
