GV II
Oasthouse. C19, probably 2 phases. Mostly English bond brick, both red and ochre-coloured; some is timber-framed and clad with weatherboards; slate roof, and hop kilns have coated brick roofs.
Plan: Large oasthouse. The double depth stowage is on a rough east west axis with the west end facing into the farmyard. The stowage is open at ground floor level on the north side. The rear (southern) section of the stowage is not full length and there are 2 hop kilns behind the east end of the northern stowage. At the east end is a cluster of 4 hop kilns, 2 each side of a narrow extension of the northern section of the stowage.
Exterior: North long side of the stowage is 5 bays; an open arcade of plain posts at ground floor level and at first floor level there are 2 plain plank doorways to the loading hatches and 3 horizontal sliding sash windows, all C19. In the double gable west end at first floor level a similar loading hatch doorway to left (complete with sack hoist) and similar window to right over a wide c-art entrance. Hop kilns are circular in section with cogged brick eaves cornice. One of the kilns (to south fo the stowage) is missing its roof but the other 5 have tall conical roofs with cowls.
Interior: Has plain but sturdy carpentry.
This impressive oasthouse forms part of an attractive group with medieval Tatlingbury Farmhouse (q.v.) and its C17 barn (q.v.).
