The Apple Room about 20 metres South West of Compton Castle

MATERIALS: Ham stone, roughly cut and squared, with ashlar dressings; the current roof covering is of stone slate. The windows, with leaded lights, are later replacements.

PLAN: the building is rectangular on plan, standing on a north-west/south-east alignment, with the entrance to the north-east.

EXTERIOR: the single-storey building is of three bays, having a central entrance, unadorned but for a hoodmould, with a Tudor-arched door with vertical filets. To either side, an ovolo-moulded two-light mullioned window under a hoodmould. There is a similar window, at a higher level, in the south-west wall. The moulded, coped gables rest on corbels.

INTERIOR: the interior is partially lined with breeze-blocks, and does not retain original features.

We have considered whether powers of exclusion under s.1 (5A) of the 1990 Act are appropriate, and consider that they are not.
