Oasthouse 30 Metres to North of Dambridge Farmhouse

Oasthouse, dating from around 1800 and re-roofed around 1873. The building is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a hipped peg tiled roof and a brick eaves cornice. It is a T-shaped structure, two storeys high with a basement, comprising a storage range and two kilns. The north elevation features two wooden casement windows with cement sills and cambered head linings to the ground floor, and basement openings with wooden lintels. Four circular iron ties are visible. The first floor has a loading door, two circular iron ties, and a ground floor opening with iron bars. A brick dated 1873 is present on the west elevation, along with bricks initialled IR, MR, FR, MR, IR, HR and HR, likely related to a refurbishment. The storage area contains five bays with tie beams, collar beams, a ridge piece and through purlins. The two kilns retain their drying floors. Originally, there was likely one kiln to the south, but after 1873, part of the eastern storage area was partitioned off to create a second kiln, served by a projecting gable instead of a traditional courtyard.
