Hop Kilns Immediately East Of Wheatley House

The hop kilns, located immediately east of Wheatley House, date from the early to mid-19th century and feature later additions. They are constructed from dressed local malmstone with greensand dressings and have a Welsh slate roof that is half-hipped at the north end. The roof includes five truncated pyramidal kiln roofs, with two at the north end combined into one, although the louvred tops are missing. The kilns have a rectangular plan and consist of five kilns with a 9-bay open arcade on the west front, which includes an axial passage above. At the south end, there are two earlier round kilns, along with a later lean-to shed on the east side and additional sheds at the south end.

The west front features a 9-bay arcade supported by dressed greensand piers and has elliptical arches with keystones. There are four windows on the first floor and a wider central loading doorway, both framed in greensand with elliptical arches. The arcade arches have been infilled with red brick in the later 19th century, and there is now a concrete stair leading to the central loading doorway. The north end has later corrugated sheet steel sliding doors, while the south end includes an earlier red brick round kiln and the remains of another.
