GV II
Detached kitchen, possibly once a house, adjoining cider mill and hop kilns.
Mid-C18 or earlier origins, altered in mid-C19. Sandstone rubble with machine
tiled roof. Two bays aligned north/south; former external chimney with stone-
tiled offsets, lean-to bread oven and C19 brick stack (now partly incorporated
into the main wall surface) at the north gable end. Single storey and attic.
Windows are C19 casements. West elevation has two ground floor 3-light windows
and a central C19 ledged and battened door. A lean-to verandah adjoins the
west elevation and continues round the north-west angle where it is bricked in
to form a storage area. At the north gable end is a doorway and an attic
light; external sandstone and brick steps lead up to an attic doorway. The
stonework in the gable suggests that the roof has been raised. Interior:
large fireplace and bread oven. Cider Mill adjoins south end. Rubble with
slate roof. Two bays. Two levels. The west elevation has a wide doorway
and external rubble steps leading up to a loft door. Interior: cider mill
and press are largely intact. Hop kilns adjoin rear of kitchen range and are
C19. Brick with slate conical roofs and no cowls. Circular plan. Cogged
brick eaves cornices. Openings with cambered heads in east elevations.
Interior: entrances to kilns lead off passageway to rear of kitchen. The
drying floor survives in the northernmost kiln.
