Converted oasthouse. Mid/late C19, converted into 2 houses circa 1986. Red brick with weatherboarded timber-frame to the front of the former stowage; peg-tile roof.
Plan: Former oasthouse facing east. The stowage was originally open at ground floor level for the most part. 3 attached hop kilns, one on the left (south) end of the front and 2 on the right end. Now converted. Hale Farm Oast House occupies the south end including the hop kilns and The Oast Barn occupies the northern end.
Exterior: 4-bay front. The left bay is hidden behind a hop kiln. The right 2 bays are still open at ground floor level with a plain timber post between. The bay left of centre is filled and contains a window. Above are 3 windows with a former loading hatch doorway right of centre. All the windows are C20 casements, those in Hale Farm Oast House contain a diamond pane leaded glass effect, those of The Oast Barn are plain glass. The stowage roof is half- hipped. The hop kilns are all circular in plan with cogged brick eaves cornices and tall conical roofs with cowls and that one on the front has a taller roof.
