Description
The Apple Room, located about 20 metres south-west of Compton Castle, is a single-storey building dating from the 17th century. It is constructed from roughly cut and squared Ham stone, with ashlar dressings, and features a roof covered in stone slate. The windows, which have leaded lights, are later replacements.
The building has a rectangular plan and is aligned north-west to south-east, with the entrance on the north-east side. It consists of three bays, with a central entrance that is simple except for a hoodmould, featuring a Tudor-arched door with vertical filets. On either side of the entrance are two-light mullioned windows with ovolo moulding, also under hoodmoulds. A similar window is located at a higher level on the south-west wall. The gables are moulded and coped, resting on corbels.
Inside, the walls are partially lined with breeze-blocks, and the interior does not retain any original features.
