Description
The building is a maintenance shed and workshops, originally a brewhouse, dating from the medieval period with some alterations. It is constructed from squared sandstone rubble with concrete dressings and features a pantiled roof with three rows of stone slates at the eaves. The structure is single-storey with five bays, along with a set-back section of two low storeys and two bays. The 20th-century boarded doors in bays two and five have concrete lintels, and there are similar lintels and sloping stone-flagged sills for the tall wood-mullioned and transomed 3-light 20th-century windows. Attached to the north is an arch with a wide chamfered round head and a stone-coped wall above.
Inside, there are stone steps leading up to a brick-lined vat located in the north-west corner, and a massive chimney stack at the north end. The floor is stone-flagged, featuring a smooth cobbled circular area at the south end, which may have served as a hearth.
