Oasthouse. Possibly late C18, with an additional kiln that includes a brick
dated 1827. C20 garage addition. The stowage is framed construction, clad in
weatherboarding, on brick footings. Brick kilns; peg-tile roofs to stowage
and kilns.

Plan: The oathouse is aligned west east, the stowage at the west end has
outshuts at the west end and along the south side. Circular brick kiln
adjoins at the north east with a later, square kiln (brick dated 1827) at the
south east with a gabled projection at the junction with the stowage. Loft
steps on the south side below the projection and sheltered by its gabled roof.

Exterior: Small lofted stowage. The round kiln has a conical roof with brick
cogging below the eaves. The square kiln has a pyramidal roof with brick
toothing below the eaves. Both kilns preserve their original cowls. Stowage
roof half-hipped at west end. The south elevation of the stowage is 2
windows, both the brick footings of the outshut, the windows with top-hung
shutters. Door into the outshut to the right (east). Timber ladder between
stowage and the square kiln, to the right. The square kiln has a probably
late C19 panelled door on the south side with big strap hinges and original
lock box, pent roof over door. The north elevation of the kiln has a C20
garage addition and a C20 opening into the kiln with an iron girder as the
lintel. The north elevation of the stowage has 2 first floor 5-light unglazed
mullioned windows with slender mullions and one unglazed ground floor window.
C19 door on north side into west end outshut.

Interior: The stowage has wall posts with formed jowls and a clasped purlin
roof, the collars mortised into the principal rafters; no ridge board. The
stowage preserves the hop press intact. The purlins and main tie are stamped
with large numbers.
