Trewithen House is a Palladian-style Georgian house near Probus, Cornwall. 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. The house is built from granite ashlar, Pentewan stone ashlar and stucco, and features hipped slate roofs and rendered stacks. The interior features a dining room with rococo plasterwork and family collections of furniture and art. The grounds of Trewithen Estate are noteworthy, with a prominent 200 yard-long lawn and gardens containing some rare plants, with two garden pavilions. The house has been lived in by the same family for over 250 years. It is within the council area of Cornwall.
