Description
The Oast Houses and Granaries at Whitbreads Hop Farm are early 20th-century structures consisting of four blocks of five round red brick oast houses, each accompanied by a weatherboarded granary to the south. They feature tiled gabled roofs. To the southwest, there is an additional block built more recently, which is a composite rectangular building made of red brick on the ground floor and weatherboarded above, topped with a tiled roof and five small square cowls along the ridge. This block, along with two of the others, is still in operation or in operating condition. The entire group now functions as a museum and represents the largest collection of oasts in Kent.
