A 2-storey bank-barn type slatestone rubble 18C cider house with many earlier features internally; c.13m x 6m with 1st floor only over half its length. The roof is of 6 collar-tied trusses and gable end walls; floor cobbled. North side opens onto walled yard. List description at [1]
The cider press stands alongside the trough inside the barn. The platens are of timber: the upper platen is supported by a massive timber cross-head; the lower is fixed and the upper moveable. By turning the hand-wheel the upper platten can be lowered on to the "cheese" and made to apply the pressure needed to squeeze the juice out of the fruit.The timberwork has been reinforced by steel. A detailed description is given in[2] [3]
