Extract from listing description for Great South Down Farmhouse - An 18th century cider house projects at right angles to rear of the centre of the main block. The cider house is part-floored, the open section is nearest the house. The apple loft is carried on large plainly-finished crossbeams and the roof is made up of A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars and X-apexes.
