Calf House Approximately 5 Metres South Of Preston Farmhouse

The calf house, possibly originally a cider house, is located approximately 5 meters south of Preston Farmhouse. It likely dates from the 18th century and was converted into a garage in the 20th century. The building features plastered cob on stone rubble footings and has a slate roof, which may have originally been thatch.

The structure has a two-room plan and faces the farmhouse to the north, built into the hillslope. The larger room is on the left (uphill) end, terraced into the slope, and includes a first-floor loading hatch doorway in the end wall, accessible by a low flight of steps. The front of this room has a ground floor doorway with a small shuttered window to the left above it. The right room features a 20th-century garage door set within a contemporary porch that projects slightly from the main block. There is a series of pigeon holes under the eaves along the front and left ends of the building. The roof is half-hipped at both ends. The interior has not been inspected. This calf house or cider house is part of a group with the nearby Preston Farmhouse.
