Description

This is an oasthouse located about 15 metres east of Tubslake, dating from the 18th century or early 19th century, and reusing older timbers. The building is timber framed with part of the frame exposed and has red brick infill, with some extensions in red brick. It features plain tiled roofs and is two storeys high, consisting of two sections. The left section is the earlier part with exposed late framing, while the right section is a 19th-century wing with a hipped roof that steps down. On the left side, there are full-height carriage doors, two wooden casements on the ground floor, and two casements on the first floor to the right, along with 20th-century half-glazed garage doors. The rear right corner is rounded and includes a dogtooth eaves cornice, a conical roof, and a wooden cowl and winder. Inside, the older range has a clasped purlin roof featuring reused domestic and likely medieval timbers, with a three-bay structure and inward-sloping braces to the ground beams.
