5/387 Downingbury Farm Oast
14.4.86
GV II
Former oasthouse, now (February 1989) being converted into 2 houses. Probably
mid C19. Stowage is mostly weatherboarded timber-framing on brick footings
but some is brick to first floor level with peg-tile roof. Hop kilns are red
brick with peg-tile roofs.
Plan: Former oasthouse facing south south west, say south. T-plan stowage.
The main block has a cart entrance in the right (east) end. A narrow block
projects forward from the centre of the main block. It is lower than the main
block. To left the main roof is carried down over an outshot. 3 hop kilns
across the back of the main block.
Exterior: Attractively irregular 1:1:1-window front. C19 windows have iron-
framed casements containing leaded glass and are being replaced by timber
casements without glazing bars. Main stowage and front block both have half-
hipped roofs. Hop kilns are circular in plan. They have eaves cornices of
cogged brick and tall conical roofs.
Interior: Has plain but sturdy carpentry detail.
This oasthouse is unusually attractive and also forms part of a group with
nearby Downingbury Farm Barn (q.v.) and the good early C18 Downingbury
Farmhouse (q.v.).
