Description

This is a mid-to-late 19th-century oast house, converted into two dwellings around 1986. It is constructed of red brick with timber framing to the front of the former stowage, and has a peg-tile roof.

The building originally faced east and comprised an oasthouse with a stowage that was previously open at ground floor level. Three attached hop kilns are present; one on the south end of the front and two on the north end. The oasthouse has been divided, with Hale Farm Oast House occupying the south end including the hop kilns, and The Oast Barn occupying the northern section.

The front elevation has four bays. The left bay is obscured by a hop kiln. The two bays to the right are still open at ground floor level featuring a plain timber post between. The bay to the left of centre has been filled and contains a window. Above, there are three windows, with a former loading hatch doorway located to the right of centre. All windows are 20th-century casements; those in Hale Farm Oast House have a diamond-pane leaded glass effect, while those in The Oast Barn are plain glass. The stowage roof is half-hipped. The hop kilns are circular, featuring cogged brick eaves cornices and tall conical roofs topped with cowls; the kiln on the front has a taller roof.

The interior was not inspected.
