Meycote And Attached Former Cider House

This is a house, likely dating from the 17th century, with extensions from the 18th and 19th centuries, and alterations in the late 20th century. It's constructed from sandstone rubble, with timber-frame sections having plaster infill, along with brick. The roof is covered in slate and pantiles. The house follows a long, east/west alignment. The western section is timber-framed, featuring a stone side stack on the north side, 1970s casement windows on the south side and west gable, and a 19th-century section with three windows facing south. The former cider house is attached to the east of the 19th-century block and has an entrance on the left of its south side and a ledged door leading to an upper level. Inside the timber-framed section, you'll find very heavy, chamfered ceiling beams. The former cider house retains a collar truss, supported by two vertical posts rising from diagonal braces to the principals. A mid-20th century flat-roofed extension is attached to the north side of the 19th-century section. It contains a door lintel inscribed "WH 1700". The property was formerly known as Black House.
