Kilns And Attached Outbuildings At Coxbridge Farm

Coxbridge Farm features a group of former hop kilns dating from the 19th century. The structures are mainly two storeys high, built of red brick with dentilled eaves and plain clay tiled roofs, while the southwest range has pantiles. The group consists of two double-pitched ranges with half-hipped roofs on the northeast and southeast sides, connected on the southwest by a barn-like building. Extending northeast along West Street is a single-storey stable and an attached brick and weatherboarded tack room with a stack.

The northeast range has a double pitch with half-hipped gable ends facing the farmhouse. It includes cross wings at the rear that oversail the main ridge line to the northwest, featuring a visible timber queen post truss. The northeast end has plank doors spanning two storeys, two windows with cambered heads, and a weatherboarded dovecote under the roof hip. On the yard-facing return wall, there are two six-pane ground floor windows with cambered heads, one window under the eaves, and a plank door on the first floor.

Inside, the conical lath and plaster hood of the former kiln remains intact. The southwest range is primarily a single internal volume open to a king post trussed roof, with two blocked windows under the eaves and a corrugated iron lean-to facing the yard. The southeast range also has a double pitch with half-hipped gable ends, featuring eight-pane windows in each end bay; the ground floor windows are modern and set under concrete lintels. The West Street frontage includes a single-storey stable building with a central split stable-type door and two windows facing the yard, along with a weatherboarded tack room building that has a lower ridge height. Together, these buildings form a boundary wall along the main road.
