Luckinghouse Farm Oast House Approximately 8 Metres West Of House

Luckinghouse Farm Oast House, located approximately 8 metres west of the main house, dates from around 1700 and is constructed of red brick. The building underwent a re-roofing in the late 19th century, now featuring a hipped roof clad in corrugated asbestos. It has a dentilled eaves cornice and a central band, with a weatherboarded gable. The oast house is two storeys high and consists of four bays, with the western bay serving as the drying room. The working and storage area has three bays and features heavy chamfered bridging joists on the first floor, as well as a side purlin roof construction.

The gable end has a vertically boarded door, while the ground floor includes two window openings. The first floor has a loft door and a louvred opening. Inside, there is a lifting hoist with an original chain attached to a collar above a trap door, and the floor is made of clay. The drying room contains a brick internal partition wall with a central firing arch and quarter arches, although the latter are now bricked up. The drying room also has a brick floor. Timber support beams are present at the first floor level, but the drying floor is missing. A square ventilator opening is framed in timber under the current roof structure, and there are four ventilator holes in the north and south walls. The interior brickwork features a scratched date reading "1855 MIN PCN." A hop yard was adjacent to the farmyard in the 19th century, and the building is believed to have been in use since 1870. This oast house is a rare survival in Essex.
