History and description
The old farmhouse at Trewyn is an early 16th century hall house.[1] Refurbished in the 19th century, it is largely unaltered since that date. Constructed of Old Red Sandstone rubble the interior roof timbers are heavily smoke-blackened, indicating the presence of an open hearth at the time of its original construction.[1] In the late 17th century, possibly as late as 1700, the new farmhouse was built across the farmyard. Reconstructed in the Victorian era, the building is of three-storeys and of cement rendered sandstone rubble.[2] Both the old and the new farmhouses have Grade II listings.[1][2] The barn is, architecturally, the most important element of the farmstead which is reflected in its Grade II* listing.[3] Dating originally from the 16th century, it was extended in the 17th. It has four cruck trusses although the present roof is of corrugated iron dating from the 20th century.[3] Cadw describes it as "an unusually good cruck barn".[3]
