Description
The Cider House at Cwm Farm is an 18th-century structure built from rubble stone and topped with a corrugated roof. It features a symmetrical, two-storey front. The first floor displays a central datestone inscribed with "M Y I 1754 W W". On either side of the datestone are 18th-century, two-light wooden mullion windows, each with stanchions supporting the lights.
The ground floor has a central entrance doorway with a segmental arch made of stone voussoirs, leading to a plank and batten door fitted with strap hinges. Flanking the doorway are 18th-century windows with fixed lights arranged in a 3+3+3 pane configuration, also under segmental arched heads. The southeast gable features stone steps leading to a doorway for the upper loft, with a square window opening to the right.
Inside, the ground floor retains rare 18th-century cider-making equipment, including a cider mill with a drive shaft, a circular stone trough, and a stone mill wheel. There is also a cider press equipped with a large spiral-turned wooden screw. The first floor serves as an apple loft, where angled stone slabs are set into the loft floor, forming a chute that directs apples to the lower mill.
