The Cowls the Oast the Press

The Cowls, The Oast, and The Press are oasthouses that have been converted into three houses. They date from the mid-19th century and were converted around 1985. The buildings are constructed of brick with a weatherboarded rear first floor, featuring a hipped slate roof and tiled oasts. The layout is L-shaped, with round oasts located to the east and southeast, and a square plan oast at the west end, along with a rear east press range.

The exterior of the large square oast includes battered buttresses flanking central openings on each side, which have 20th-century glazing. The rear range has an overhanging, weatherboarded first floor with a doorway on the left. There are late 20th-century casements and timber cowls, while the square oast features a wide entrance on the west side, flanked by buttresses. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to have been extensively altered during the conversion. Despite these changes, the buildings remain an externally complete and historically significant reminder of the town's agricultural heritage.
