Description


TQ 64 NE CAPEL MAIDSTONE ROAD, WHETSTEAD

2/271 Oasthouse approx 20m north
of Stone Castle Farmhouse
11.1.90
GV II

Oasthouse. Mid/late C19. Mostly red brick but the north front and west end
are timber-framed and clad with weatherboards; peg-tile roof.

Plan: Oasthouse. Stowage on a rough east west axis facing north. 3 hop
kilns, 2 on the south side and a taller one on the east end.

Exterior: The north side of the stowage (the front) was not available for
inspection at the time of this survey. The west end contains a cart entrance
containing double plank doors. The stowage roof is gable-ended. The hop
kilns are circular in section and have brick dentil eaves cornices. All have
tall conical roofs with cowls.

Interior: Not inspected.

Despite inadequate access this appears to be a well-preserved unconverted
oasthouse which forms part of an attractive group with nearby Stone Castle
Farm (q.v.) and its garden walls (q.v.).
