Oast House, Wickhurst Farm

The Oast House at Wickhurst Farm, dating from around 1840, features later additions and alterations. It is constructed of red brick and timber frame, with weatherboarded cladding. The roof is hipped and half hipped, covered in plain tiles. This two-storey double pile stowage range has pitched roofs that are half hipped at the west end. There are three cylindrical kilns: one larger and one smaller diameter kiln at the east end, and a large diameter kiln located at the center of the north side of the stowage range. The larger kiln at the east end has a hipped roof that continues from the pitched roof on the north side of the stowage range. The smaller kiln features a tiled cone with a timber cowl and vane. The kiln on the north side has been reduced to eaves level and is covered with a flat corrugated iron roof. The west end of the stowage range is timber framed with weatherboarded cladding on the first floor, which is above ground floor cart entries that have double boarded doors on the right side. On the first floor, there is a three-light casement window in the left-hand gable wall, a central loft door flanked by two-light casements on the right, and a window aperture to the left in the right-hand gable wall. Other walls feature small single or two-light casements. The building is listed for its group value only.
