Plan: Long lange facing farmyard and with its back to road. The

above, its lower left (south) end used and extended as a cider
house in the C19. Later in the C19 a semi-circular horse-engine
house was built on the south end of the cider house. The cart-
shed with a loft above at the opposite north end is probably also
a C19 addition.

Exterior: 2 storey. WIde vehicular doorways at centre and right,
external stone stairs to loft doorway left of centre and doorway
to left with row of 12 pigeon holes above with slate flight
ledges. Set back slightly at left end is added cider-house with
lower slate hipped roof and large full-height opening at front.
Apsidal left (south) end is horse-engine house. At rear (west)
the central part has courses of quartz and slate weathering over
high plinth and section of cob at top of wall. Straight masonry
joints to flanking additions, the left (north) with splayed
corners and ventilation slit in gable end.

Interior: Roof of principal rafter construction, its lapped and
pegged collars replaced. Cider-house at south end contains cider-
press machinery including a wooden hoist wheel, massive
cantilevered beam over large circular granite press in south end
of original building. The large engine-house contains a gin with
an overhead beam.
