Full Description

The following text is from the original listed building designation:
HADLOW HIGH STREET (north side) TQ 63 49 7/77 Oasthouse approx 8m north - west of Spring House
GV II
Disused oasthouse. Mid/late C19, some early C20 alterations. Flemish bond brick with burnt headers used decoratively in places; kilns have peg-tile roofs, stowage roof replaced with corrugated asbestos.
Plan: The stowage is on a north south axis facing west. Circular hop kilns on the 2 left (northern) end corners. Stowage extended northwards in early C20. 2 storeys with integral lean-to outshot on south end.
Exterior: The eastern front of the stowage has a ground floor garage-size doorway at ground floor with a window to left and loading hatch doorway to right at first floor. All these openings have been rebuilt in the C20. The window like others around the stowage is iron-framed with glazing bars. Both sections of the stowage roof are gable-ended. The hop kilns have a corbelled cornice including a dentil band of burnt headers. Tall conical roofs. Only the western kiln still has a cowl.
Interior: Not inspected.
This oasthouse, along with the nearby Maltings (q.v.), plays an important visual role on the western approach to Hadlow. They also indicate the historic importance of brewing to the local economy.
