Cider Barn
Property Description
This converted old Cider Barn sits adjacent to The Mill and is situated at the edge of the property’s orchard and garden. Once used to house the apple press for making cider, the Cider Barn was connected to the Mill via a leather belt, driven by the waterwheel, which was used to prepare the apples for the press used in the cider making process.
