Description

Roses Oast is a 19th-century oasthouse located in Broomfield. It is constructed of stone with red brick dressings, and has plain tile roofs. The building comprises a rectangular stowage with two circular kilns at the north-west end. The kilns have conical roofs that are truncated towards the tops. The stowage roof is hipped to the north. The interior has not been inspected. The building is included on the list because of its group value.
