Description

Wane House at Upper Trerew is a small stable dating from the early 17th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a gabled slate roof. The south front is single-storey, with a ground floor that includes an entrance doorway on the right and a 17th-century four-light diamond mullion window with roll moulding. The rear elevation is enclosed by a 20th-century corrugated building. Attached to the south gable is a 20th-century shed with a corrugated iron roof, and to the north gable is a two-bay shelter shed with a slate roof.

The interior is particularly notable for its smoke-blackened timbers and two exceptionally well-preserved cruck trusses, likely from a three-bay 16th-century hall-house. Both trusses feature a saddle. The gable truss has mortice holes in the soffit of the collar, indicating where timber wall studs once extended to the lower tie beam. Mortice holes in the cruck blades of the opposing 'open' truss suggest it originally had a collar as well. There are two tiers of trenched purlins. On the ground floor, the west wall has a blocked window opening with a massive oak sill and evidence of a blocked doorway on the right.
