Cider House and Adjoining Cart Shed Immediately North of Lower Blakemore

The cider house and adjoining cart shed, located immediately north of Lower Blakemore, date back to 1779, as indicated by a slate tablet on the east front inscribed "ESH 1779". The structure is built of stone rubble and features a grouted slated hipped roof with early crested ridge tiles.

The building has a rectangular plan, with a loft above that is accessible via external stairs leading to a doorway on the left end. Inside the loft, there is a fireplace on the rear wall. The right-hand north end of the building contains an open front 4-bay cart shed.

The exterior is two storeys high. On the east front, there is a ground floor plank door off centre, which is topped by a cambered brick arch, along with a blocked doorway on the right. To the left, there is a cart entrance with a 20th-century garage door. The first floor features two 3-light casement windows. External stairs lead to the loft door at the left (south) end. At the rear (west), there is a truncated projecting lateral stack and a wide loft doorway to the right.

The cart shed at the north end, dating from around the 19th century, is also constructed of stone rubble and has a slate roof with gabled ends. It features a 4-bay open front timber arcade supported by three square-section timber posts on stone bases, with scissor-braced bolted roof trusses in the implement shed.

Inside the cider house, the apple-loft at the south end is supported by a massive square-section beam, with a diagonal beam across the northeast corner and a fireplace on the west wall featuring a segmental brick arch. The loft walls are plastered, and the nailed roof trusses remain intact. The cider house originally housed a cider press, which has since been moved to Kingsbridge Museum.
