Description
The cider house, located approximately 10 meters southwest of Coombe Barton, dates from the 18th century and was partly rebuilt and enlarged in the late 19th or early 20th century. It is constructed of roughly squared stone rubble with some cob below the eaves, and features areas rebuilt in coursed stone rubble and enlarged with snecked squared stone rubble, accented with red brick dressings. The roof is hipped and covered with Welsh slate, with a lean-to roof over an outshut.
The building has a two-storey rectangular plan and was likely partly converted into a cartshed around 1900. There is a one-storey outshut added around the same time on the eastern side. The exterior includes what appears to be an inserted cart entrance on the south side, featuring a wooden lintel. The outshut on the right side has two doorways with flanking windows.
Inside, there are blocked doorways in the right-hand end room, which have wooden lintels that are obscured externally by the outshut. The loft is supported by two cross beams, and the roof, dating from around 1900, consists of three bays with bolted tie-beam trusses. Notably, there is a large well-preserved cider press located on the ground floor at the left-hand (west) end. While this is a modest building, it is significant for the survival of the cider press and its group value with Coombe Barton.
