Description

Treworgan Manor is a gentry house built around 1700, featuring a front block made of red brick with slate roofs and two brick stacks on the rear wall. The formal front has five windows and two storeys, highlighted by a raised brick band, a timber eaves cornice, and nine timber cross-windows with brick voussoirs above flat heads. The centre of the front has double doors consisting of ten raised and fielded panels framed by a lugged timber architrave. There are marks indicating a large pediment or gable above the doorway. The north gable end has a similar window on each floor and a small four-pane sash window in the loft, while the south gable is rendered and features first-floor and loft windows, along with two added buttresses.

To the northwest, there is an almost detached service wing constructed in similar brick and oriented at right angles, with end stacks, the eastern one being larger. This two-storey wing has a three-window north front, a similar brick band, and small two-light ovolo-moulded timber mullion windows above pairs of casement windows, with a central door. The eastern end wall also has a similar mullion window above a casement pair. The chimneys display nogged brickwork. The rear southwest parallel range, dating from around 1600, is rendered and gabled to the south, featuring irregular casement pair windows on the south side that step to follow the internal staircase.

The interior consists of a two-room front range with a central passage. The hall is located to the north, while the parlour to the south has bolection-moulded panelling, including an integral fireplace surround. Above the fireplace is a modern copy of an oil painting of the house set in formal gardens from 1660, with the original located at St Fagan's Museum. The doors are large, raised, and fielded with six panels and lugged architraves. The room to the north has a five-panelled door leading to the side hall. In the rear c1600 wing, there is a spiral oak mast staircase that rises from the cellar to the loft, with panelling on the walls; the steps have been replaced with board risers and treads from the 17th century, measuring 15 inches in diameter at the base. The doors are planked and ledged with strap hinges. It is said that there is a barrel-vaulted cellar beneath, with an outside door that has been enlarged for cider barrels.
