Hop Kiln And Rooms About 10 Metres West Of Lustonbury

The building is a hop kiln and adjoining hop rooms located about 10 metres west of Lustonbury. It dates from the 17th century and was remodelled in the early 19th century, with restoration taking place in the 1980s. The structure features a timber frame with rendered infill and coursed rubble, with some alterations in brick, topped by a tiled and corrugated iron roof.

The building consists of four bays aligned east to west, with an extension to the west that includes the hop kiln. The north front is two storeys high, with the 17th-century section on the right, which has a single small loft door. To the left of centre, there is a tall entrance with a pair of doors, and to the right, an ordinary ledged and boarded door. To the left of the entrance, there is a 17th-century window with a chamfered wooden architrave set in the rubble wall.

The hop kiln, located to the left of this range, features a long roof vent along the ridge and a semi-circular headed window. Its ground floor entrance has a plain wooden architrave and a ledged and boarded door. On the extreme left, there is a bay of 19th-century framing resting on a rubble ground floor. The framing consists mainly of three square panels high, and the gables display diagonal framing. Inside the hop kiln, there is a slatted floor, while the 17th-century section has ceiling beams that are chamfered and stopped.
