Description
This building is a barn and former cider house located about 20 meters southeast of West Combe Farmhouse. It is likely from the 17th century and was extended in 1823. The structure is made of local slate rubble and has a slate roof, which is mostly covered in corrugated iron. The gabled right (south) end and half-hipped left (north) end are notable features.
The barn is positioned at the higher south end, while the cider house was added at the lower north end, which includes a loft accessed by external stairs at the back (east). There are two 19th-century outshuts at the back. The exterior features a two-storey cider house at the north end and a single-storey barn at the south end, all under a continuous roof. The west front of the north end has a central doorway and a symmetrical arrangement of two windows on each floor. The ground floor windows have segmented slate arches, while the first-floor windows have timber lintels; one ground floor window on the left side is blind. Above the doorway, there is a small stone tablet inscribed "B over H.M. 1823".
The barn, located to the right (south), is built into a steep bank, with its front wall slightly set back. At the back (east), there is a flight of steps to the left, flanked by outshuts, one of which is now roofless. Inside, the former cider house at the north end features a loft floor. The roof consists of straight principal rafters with lapped and pegged collars. Two of the trusses are made from reused principals, with mortices for threaded joints, and one has halving for a notched lapped joint.
