Description
The Oast House is a former farm building from Holmbush Farm that has been converted into a residence, likely dating from the 18th century. It is two storeys high and features three windows, constructed of red brick with a tiled roof. The windows are casement style, and there is a modern Georgian doorway. To the north, there is a circular brick oasthouse with a conical roof that is now part of the dwelling.
