Description

This building is an oasthouse, likely dating from the late 18th century, with an additional kiln that includes a brick dated 1827. There is also a 20th-century garage addition. The stowage is constructed with a framed structure, clad in weatherboarding, and sits on brick footings. The kilns are made of brick, and both the stowage and kilns have peg-tile roofs.

The oasthouse is oriented west to east, with the stowage located at the west end, featuring outshuts at both the west end and along the south side. A circular brick kiln is attached at the northeast, while a later square kiln, dated 1827, is positioned at the southeast and has a gabled projection where it meets the stowage. There are loft steps on the south side, sheltered by the gabled roof of the projection.

The exterior includes a small lofted stowage. The round kiln features a conical roof with brick cogging beneath the eaves, while the square kiln has a pyramidal roof with brick toothing below the eaves. Both kilns retain their original cowls. The stowage roof is half-hipped at the west end. The south elevation of the stowage has two windows, with top-hung shutters, and a door into the outshut on the right (east). A timber ladder connects the stowage to the square kiln on the right. The square kiln has a possibly late 19th-century panelled door on the south side, complete with large strap hinges and an original lock box, and a pent roof above the door. The north elevation of the kiln includes a 20th-century garage addition and a 20th-century opening into the kiln with an iron girder as the lintel. The north elevation of the stowage features two first-floor five-light unglazed mullioned windows with slender mullions, as well as one unglazed ground floor window. There is a 19th-century door on the north side leading into the west end outshut.

Inside, the stowage has wall posts with formed jowls and a clasped purlin roof, with collars mortised into the principal rafters and no ridge board. The stowage also retains an intact hop press, and the purlins and main tie are stamped with large numbers.
