Cider House About 50 Yards East of Bodenham Farmhouse

The cider house, located about 50 yards east of Bodenham Farmhouse, is possibly from the early 18th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and has a slate roof, featuring a rectangular plan that is aligned west-north-west to east-south-east. The building has two storeys and two windows. The south elevation includes one two-light opening to the left of a roughly central 18th-century ledged door on the ground floor. There are also two oak-framed two-light openings with subsidiary diamond section mullions, and to the left is a ledged 18th-century door that leads to a set of stairs rising from behind the left-hand corner. The east gable is asymmetrical and has small ledged doors covering two openings: one on the ground floor towards the rear with a catslide roof, and one centrally placed for the upper floor. Inside, there are four roofing bays, each supported by three vertical posts from the tie to the collar, above which are V-struts. The ground floor houses a complete cider mill and cider press, making this an unusually complete example that serves as an adjunct to the adjacent barn.
