Description
This is a late 19th-century oasthouse located on Goudhurst Road in Horsmonden. The building features stock brick, some of which is rendered, and weatherboarding, topped with plain tiled roofs. It has a two-storey stowage area with a gabled roof that includes ridge tiles and gable finials. On the first floor, there are four wooden casement windows, a central boarded sliding loft door, and on the ground floor, there are four sliding double cart doors along with a boarded door on the return elevations, which has a shuttered opening above it. To the left, there is a continuous range of kilns that are attached to the oasthouse, featuring full-height buttresses and pyramidal roofs, although the curls on the roofs are missing. This oasthouse is part of a group of other late 19th-century commercial buildings nearby, all associated with the railway station that was built in 1892, which is now disused. The oasthouse is included for its group value.
