Description
Munsfield Oast is a 18th-century building that has been restored. It consists of two parallel ranges, with the ground floor made of Kentish ragstone and the first floor weatherboarded. The roofs are tiled. There are three yellow brick oasts on the property: two have circular bases and conical tops, while one features a square base and a pyramidal top. All the roofs are tiled and include fantails.
