Description

The brewhouse, bothy, and cheese room located to the south of Bembridge Farmhouse is an early 18th-century structure that underwent alterations in the 19th century. It is constructed from Isle of Wight stone rubble and features a slate roof with a brick end chimneystack. The building is one storey high with attics and has a deep stone plinth. The end gables are adorned with stone coping and kneelers, and there are two small 19th-century windows. The 19th-century square brick chimneystack is associated with the earlier 18th-century chimney.

The facade includes two windows, mostly modern casements, although one window retains part of an earlier pegged wooden surround. A doorcase added in the mid-19th century features a large 12-pane opening fanlight above and a 19th-century plank door below. At the rear, there is a 19th-century lean-to extension made of Isle of Wight stone rubble, which has an iron grille likely used for hanging cheeses.

Inside, the building has a wide chimney with a large wooden bressumer featuring lamb's tongue stops and a brick base. There is a bread oven with an old wooden shutter and pot hooks and chains for holding utensils. The interior also boasts wide stop-chamfered beams with lamb's tongue stops and stone flag floors. An original straight flight wooden staircase with a wooden handrail leads to the attic, which has sometimes been used as a bothy. The roof is a through purlin type, and the partitions are made of lath and plaster.
