Cider House Approximately 1.5 Metres North Of Mohuns Ottery Farmhouse

The cider house, located approximately 1.5 meters north of Mohuns Ottery Farmhouse, dates from the mid-16th century and incorporates part of a Tudor manor house. It was rebuilt in the mid-19th century, likely during the 1868 renovation of the farmhouse. The structure is made of local stone and flint rubble, with some Beerstone ashlar quoins and dressings, and features a stone rubble stack topped with 20th-century brick and a slate roof.

The cider house has a two-room plan facing south towards the farmhouse. The smaller room on the left (west) end has a gable-end stack that serves a large fireplace, which includes a 19th-century oven and a base for a washing copper. This fireplace is mid-16th century in origin and its quality suggests it was once part of a high-status room, indicating that the cider house incorporates elements from Sir Peter Carew's mid-16th-century house, although it underwent significant rebuilding in the 19th century. There are haylofts over both rooms.

On the exterior, there are two ground floor doorways; the larger one is roughly central, leading into the larger room, while the other is near the left end, leading into the bakehouse. Both doorways have plain plank doors and flat arches above them. A former hayloft loading hatch above the bakehouse doorway has been converted into a window. The roof is gable-ended.

Inside, the cider house features plain 19th-century carpentry. The dividing wall between the two rooms and the right (east) end wall are lined with very early brick, likely from the 17th century but possibly from the 16th century, suggesting they are reused materials. The fireplace is full width, made entirely of stone ashlar, with an elliptical head and a moulded surround, and there is a relieving arch above it. This cider house is notable for incorporating a high-status fireplace from the manor house built by Sir Peter Carew, who died on the Mary Rose. It also forms a group with the 19th-century farmhouse and the ruins of the 16th-century gatehouse.
