Description
This is a storehouse, formerly a ciderhouse with a horse engine house, located about 45 metres west of Whitelackington House. It dates from the 18th century and is constructed from local stone rubble, topped with a Welsh slate roof that features stepped coped gables and stone slate base courses. The building has two storeys and consists of seven bays. The lower bays 1, 4, and 7 have mullioned windows with vertical iron bars and 2-light configurations, while bay 2 has double doors under a timber lintel and bay 6 has a single boarded door. The upper bays 1 and 5 contain casement windows, and upper bay 3 has a boarded door that is accessed by a flight of stone steps. The interior has not been seen. Attached to the north end of the building is a lower single-storey structure with a curved open end supported by timber columns and a hipped thatched roof, which appears to have been used as a horse-engine house. A second horse-engine house, likely from the 19th century, was previously located to the east of Whitelackington House but has since been demolished.
