Background
History
Wealthy landowner and lawyer Phillip Hawkins purchased the estate in 1715. He ordered London-based architect Thomas Edwards to build the Palladian house in 1723. It was later revised by Edwards in around 1738 and by Sir Robert Taylor in the 1750-1760s.
Architecture
The house is built from granite ashlar, Pentewan stone ashlar and stucco, and features hipped slate roofs and rendered stacks. The central doorcase is arched with a pulvinated frieze, and contains an 18th-century central panelled door with sidelights. In the interior, the central east room of the house is panelled with pine wood, while the central south room features arcaded screens and Roman-style Ionic entablatures, with rococo arabesques adorning the fireplace wall. The main staircase of Trewithen House is cantilevered, and set in a semi circular open well.
