Description
The Oast House, located 50 meters north-east of Dagworth Hall, is a disused structure dating from 1846, built for Thomas Woodward, a tenant farmer. It features a plastered and tarred clay lump construction set on a tarred flint and brick base, with a semi-circular plan at both ends. The roof is slated and hipped over the ends, and the building has two storeys.
On the west side, there is a weatherboarded lean-to loft that is open on the ground floor, supported by posts and raking struts. The exterior includes various slatted ventilation openings, two boarded entrance doors, and a first-floor loading door, along with 20th-century garage doors towards the north end.
Inside, the circular kilns at each end have been removed, leading to alterations in the upper floor and roof, as well as the removal of two cross partitions. The upper floor is trimmed for a stair and a sack-trap adjacent to each kiln. One of the floor beams has a timber plaque with the carved inscription 'In 1846 This Building on This Ground Was Fixt'. This oast house is a rare, possibly unique, building type in Suffolk, linked to a locally significant hop-growing area.
