Description
This is an oasthouse located about 30 metres northeast of Little Combourne Farmhouse, dating from the mid to late 19th century. It features a combination of red and blue brick and weatherboarded stowage, topped with a plain tiled roof and red brick kilns. The two-storey stowage has a gabled design, with three wooden casements and a boarded loft door on the right, along with two cart doors on the ground floor. To the right, there is a square kiln with brick corbelled eaves leading to a pyramidal roof topped with a cowl. The rear of the building has two roundels, each with dentil brick eaves and conical roofs also finished with cowls. This oasthouse is included for its group value.
