comprises cob cider house with apple store to right of stone store and granary. An
external flight of granite steps lead to the granary door which is flanked by
mullion-and-transom windows (one glazed). An unglazed 3-light mullion window
serves store below and door is in left gable end. The cider house has a wide
entrance to ground floor with windows to right and above. Apple store access by an
external flight of stone steps to rear and rear of granary are a row of 3 granite
walled pigstys under lean-to roof of corrugated iron. Each has wooden front with
door and iron fittings. Granary and part-floored cider house carried on massive
