Description
The building is an oasthouse located approximately 80 meters north of Bournside Farmhouse, now used as stables. It was likely built in the mid-19th century, with some modernizations made to the stowage in the mid-20th century. The structure is constructed of Flemish bond red brick, featuring some burnt headers, and is white-washed on the south side of the stowage. The roof of the stowage is slate, while the hop kilns have peg-tile roofs.
The plan of the oasthouse is oriented on an east-west axis and consists of two storeys, with three hop kilns situated at the eastern end. The south front of the stowage includes a large central doorway flanked by a window on each side. On the first floor, there are two additional windows and a loading hatch doorway at the right end. All windows and doors are from the 20th century, with the ground floor openings featuring concrete lintels. The low-pitched roof is hipped at both ends.
The three hop kilns have been converted into stables, each with doorways on their eastern sides. The kilns are circular in plan and have cogged brick eaves cornices, topped with relatively low-pitched conical roofs, although they are missing their cowls. The interior features plain carpentry detail.
