Brewhouse, In Garden, Adjoining Snowshill Manor

The building is a former dairy and still room, later adapted as a house and now used as an exhibition space, situated in the garden adjoining Snowshill Manor. It likely dates from the 16th century, with 17th-century elements, and was altered and extended in the 19th century, with significant work in 1919-'23 by and for C.P. Wade. The structure is built of squared stone in courses of varying heights, with some walls brought to regular courses, and is roofed with slate.

The building consists of a two-room, 1 1/2-storey block and a lower, narrower single-room 1 1/2-storey extension set at a slight angle. The facade features a stone slab acting as a bench seat on the left, and a boarded door with a flat Tudor arch and chamfered jambs on the right. A gabled wooden bellcote is situated on the right, supported by brackets. Other features include a blocked window, two 2-light mullioned windows with external shutters, evidence of a blocked window, and parapet gables with cross-gablet apices. A flight of ten stone steps leads to a boarded door set back behind the eaves on the right side. A further wall set back contains a wide boarded door with a flat Tudor arch and chamfered arris. A long wooden dovecote is attached to the wall, with 15 boxes arranged in two tiers. A small-pane Yorkshire sliding sash window is set within a projecting boarded gable above the dovecote, with a chimney behind the ridge.

The rear elevation has a shallow projecting section on the right, which is offset back to the wall above. A square hole is located high up, and a blocked wide arched doorway is present at the left end. A small-pane window is set within a semi-circular head, ovolo surround, keystone, raised spandrels and a square hoodmould dropping to the springing of the arch. A buttress supports the left side. Above are three gabled stone dormers, with parapet gables – two on the left with 3-light mullioned windows and hoodmoulds, and one on the right with a ridge chimney and diamond-set brickwork at the top.

Inside, the left room contains a wide fireplace, a timber lintel, and two ovens. A spiral stone stair is located on the left, and copper equipment on the right. The right room has a workbench with rows of small drawers above. The first-floor rooms are divided by a close-studded timber-framed partition that forms a truss; the truss in the room on the right has a tie beam cut away, with one pair of purlins and curved windbraces. A balcony was added by Wade in the right room, incorporating balusters reused from a rack in the former cowhouse. The building was converted into a dwelling for Wade himself.
