2/267 Nos 1 and 2 Ploggs Hall Oast
II
Oasthouse, converted into 2 houses. Early/mid C19, converted circa 1980. Red
brick with some burnt headers laid to Monk and Flemish bonds, front wall is
timber-framed and clad with weatherboards. Peg-tile roof to the former
stowage and the kilns have coated brick roofs.
Plan: Originally a relatively large oasthouse facing east north east, say
east. Stowage is roughly square in plan. It has parallel roofs and had an
open arcade across the front. 4 hop kilns across the back and a fifth on the
left (south) end. It is now converted to 2 similar houses divided from front
to back. No 1 to right (south) and No 2 to left. The odd fifth kiln belongs
to Ploggs Hall (q.v.). Former stowage is 2 storeys.
Exterior: Front first floor level has the original arrangement of 6 windows,
3 either side of a plain plank loading hatch door. Window like all the others
around the house are C20 casements with no glazing bars. Originally a 6-bay
arcade below still has open bays providing a central entrance porch to each
house. Centre bays are garage now. Other windows in the side walls have
segmental arch heads. Roofs are hipped both ends. Circular hop kilns with
cogged brick cornices, tall conical roofs and cowls.
Interior: Has plain original carpentry detail including a roof of A-frame
trusses with mortise, tenoned and pegged collars. No 1 still contains the hop
press which has been moved to the ground floor.
This converted oast house forms a group with the nearby converted barn (q.v.)
and Ploggs Hall (q.v.).
