Citrus House

Citrus House is a long lean-to glass house dating from the 20th century, featuring pavilions at each end. It is fully glazed and sits on a low limestone plinth with a chamfered top edge. Above a short upright section, which is one pane high, there is a gambrel roof. The structure has vertical wooden struts, with overlapping panes of glass that have curved ends between them. Every fourth strut is heavier. The opening lights, which are four panes wide and one pane high, are horizontally hung and operated by an interior iron mechanism. These lights are located along the top and in the short upright section at the bottom. A short central glazed door, four panes wide, has a sill that is lower than the plinth, and the pitched roof section above is horizontally hung like the windows. The supporting wall of rubble stone has a stone coping.

The tall, narrow flanking pavilions feature glazed pitched hipped roofs that are at right angles to the main range. Their facades are rendered stone with flat heads and low parapets, built on plinths that are three courses high. Each pavilion has a central doorway under a recessed round head, one of which bears the sign "Citrus House," containing late 20th-century panelled doors. Above the doorways are recessed oval panels, flanked by full-height panels. The exterior side walls are made of rubble stone, with the west side rendered. The rear of the east wall has quoins.

At the rear, there are three lean-to structures against the central dividing wall. The central structure is a loft, likely used for drying or storing fruit. It features a wide full-height central entrance with stone jambs, paved with stone, brick, and part of a millstone. Planked doors with timber lintels and stone jambs lead off to the left and right, with a loft above. The east front wall projects slightly and has no openings, while the west front has three ventilation slits and two wide boarded openings with stone sills leading to the loft. To the east, there is a glazed lean-to with a door at the eastern end. A late 20th-century toilet block is located to the west, constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof, wooden planked doors, and small windows.

Access to the interior was not available at the time of inspection, but decorative cast iron heating vents are visible in the floor.
