Description
The C19 cider house, located at Upper White Castle, features an attached outhouse in a linear arrangement. Constructed from rubble stone with slate roofs, the building has openings with segmental arched heads made of stone voussoirs and shallow stone sills. The cider house is two-storey, with the front elevation showing an external stone stair on the far right that leads to a boarded door of the upper granary. To the left on the first floor, there are three square blocked openings. On the ground floor, from left to right, there is a wide doorway with a boarded door flanked by narrow chamfered vent slits on each side, followed by a second wide boarded door, and then a partly-boarded window opening. The wall of the adjoining granary stair projects and features a flat-headed doorway leading to a narrow storage passage. The attached single-storey outhouse on the left has a boarded door on the right and a tall 2-light mullion window on the left. The loft of the cider house is 5-bays and contains 19th-century king post roof trusses with raking side struts.
