Full description
Department of Environment, 1989, Beaford (List of Blds of Arch or Historic Interest). SDV321165.
Trevilla and adjoining kitchen garden walls.
House. Mid to late C18, probably remodelled in the early C19. Early C20 alterations and additions. Rendered, probably over stone rubble. Gable-ended scantle-slate roof. Rendered end stacks.
Plan: Two-room central-entrance plan with integral end stacks (facing south-east). Wing projecting at rear of left-hand end, also with integral end stack. Early C20 alterations included the addition of the verandah to the front (probably incorporating some late C19 material), the widening of the ground-floor front windows and the addition of a short wing to the west. Garden wall adjoining left-hand end of house, enclosing roughly square kitchen garden. Two-storey house.
Exterior: Plinth, plat band and parapeted gable ends. Symmetrical 3-bay front; early C19 sixteen-pane glazing bar sashes and ground-floor tripartite glazing bar sashes (early C19 sixteen-pane sashes widened in the early C20), all with stone cills.
Central doorway has C19 five-panelled door with beaded wooden frame, semi-circular overlight and staff-moulded reveals. C18 bolection-moulded stone sundial above door (minus gnomon) with painted inscription (probably C20): "NOTHING MATTERS HALF/AS MUCH AS YOU THINK IT DOES". Glazed lean-to verandah supported on fluted cast-iron columns with scrolled captials and barleysugar twisted bases, and with low cast-iron railings to front. Tall margin-light glazing bar sash to rear, lighting staircase.
Kitchen garden walls. Roughly squared stone rubble and cob. Wrought-iron gateway in south side, with wooden lintel, and 2 gateways in right-hand (east) side, one with boarded door.
Interior of house not inspected.
An old photograph (Beaford Archive), probably taken in the early C20, shows the house before the alteration of the ground-floor windows and before the addition of the verandah and the short wing to the left. Other details: LBS Number: 91643.
