Description
Oast Cottage is a house that was once used as an oast house, dating from the 17th century. It was refaced and extended in the early 19th century. The building is timber framed and features a combination of red and blue chequered brick and tile hanging on the first floor, with weatherboarding on the right side. It has a plain tiled roof and stands two storeys high on a plinth, topped with a hipped roof and a stack on the left side.
The front has five wooden casement windows on the first floor and four on the ground floor, along with a boarded door located to the center right, which is sheltered by a flat hood supported by brackets. There is a blocked doorway at the left end, and a 19th-century oast roundel at the rear right, which has a cylindrical tiled roof but is missing its cowl. Inside, the cottage features exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces.
