BUCKLAND MONACHORUM BUCKLAND ABBEY
SX 46 NE
3/123 Cider House

GV II

House formerly barn with living accommodation at one end, may originally have formed
part of the domestic buildings to the abbey. Probably late medieval, much rebuilt
and altered in later C20. Stone rubble walls. Gable ended slate roof. 2 gable end
rebuilt rubble stacks.
Original plan unclear although pre-alteration photographs show a long barn range
extending to the right with a cross wing at the left-hand end apparently housing
domestic accommodation. In the later C20 a similar cross wing was built at the
right-hand end which extended to the rear. The building was completely modernised
internally at this stage. and now consists of a large room in each cross wing, a
corridor at the front connecting the 2 which has smaller rooms to the rear.
2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window front gabled at either end with projecting wing at
right-hand end. C20 3-light casements. The left-hand gable has an arched hoodmould
over the first floor window which appears to be original. Below the window is a
chamfered granite 4-centred arched doorway which may be contemporary. Both features
have been copied in the later right-hand gable; beyond it the wing projects. At
the rear are 2 parallel projecting wings which have re-used or reconstructed
mullioned windows and granite arched doorways.
Interior : Much altered by the C20 modernisation,few original features visible.
