Great Tre-Rhew Farmhouse

Great Tre-Rhew Farmhouse is a substantial L-plan farmhouse dating from the 16th century. It features rendered stone walls and gabled slate roofs with rendered ridge stacks. The northwest entrance front has the main farmhouse on the right and the gable of a projecting wing on the left. On the first floor of the main house, there are two 2+2+2+2 pane casement windows. Below, a slate pentice supported by two iron columns provides a covered way across the full length of the front.

On the ground floor to the left, there is a fine 16th-century Tudor arched entrance doorway with a chamfered ashlar surround and run-out stops, leading to a studded door with strap hinges. To the right on the ground floor, there is a 6+6 pane casement window with a stone sill, a 4+4 casement window with a concrete sill, and an adjacent boarded door to the kitchen. The southwest elevation of the wing features segmental arched window openings and 20th-century 2+2+2 pane casement windows. The first floor has three windows, with corresponding windows on the ground floor. The windows in the centre and left bays have shallow painted sills.

On the garden front, the first floor has, from left to right, a 2+2 pane casement, a 2+2+2+2 casement, and two 2+2 casement windows. The ground floor features a 3-light mullion window, a 6+6 casement with a stone sill, a 20th-century part-glazed door, and another similar 6+6 casement on the far right.

The main house has a linear 3-unit plan. Entry is through the Tudor arched doorway into a stone flagged lobby. To the right of the entry is the living room, which contains a 6-panel door, chamfered ceiling beams, and deep splayed window openings with panelled shutters. Beyond this, at a lower service level, is the kitchen, which was formerly a dairy and features a 17th-century chamfered ceiling beam with scroll stops. The kitchen mullion has iron stanchions. To the left of the entry, the parlour also has panelled shutters and a 4-panel door. A straight stair with a closed string, circular newel, and square balusters leads to the first floor, which includes an 18th-century 2-panel door with strap hinges, a good early 19th-century hob grate with a Gothic moulded back-plate, and a fireplace cupboard in the side wing with three fielded panels. The roof was not accessible at the time of the resurvey.
