Description

The stable and cider house range located immediately north-north-east of Cleave Farmhouse dates from around 1826. It is constructed from local slate and quartz rubble, with the upper sections of the stable walls made of cob. The building features a corrugated iron roof with gabled ends and has a long rectangular shape. At the higher right-hand end, there are stables with a loft above, while the lower left-hand end contains a cider house with an apple loft above, accessible via external stone steps at the front.

The stables at the higher right-hand end have a doorway flanked by two windows, both with timber lintels, and a loft doorway in the right-hand gable end. To the left of the center, there are wide external stone stairs with slate treads leading to a porch at the top, which provides access to the apple loft over the cider house. The cider house features a wide doorway at the front, covered by a corrugated iron pentice canopy, and has two rows of six pigeon holes above. A stone tablet inscribed "R Jackson 182(6?)" is located above the doorway.

The external stone stairs have a doorway on the side leading to a store below, and there is a niche on the front that is believed to have been used for oats for horses tethered to a ring above. A small hole on the front of the stairs to the right may have served as a dog kennel. The roof trusses have collars nailed to the faces of the principal rafters, and the stables contain old wooden stalls. Richard Jackson, who is associated with this building, was known locally for his cider making, and the Jackson family is said to have lived at Cleave for generations prior to 1826.
