The following text is from the original listed building designation:
TQ 64 SW PEMBURY MAIDSTONE ROAD
5/387 Downingbury Farm Oast
14.4.86 GV II
Former oasthouse, now (February 1989) being converted into 2 houses. Probably mid C19. Stowage is mostly weatherboarded timber-framing on brick footings but some is brick to first floor level with peg-tile roof. Hop kilns are red brick with peg-tile roofs.
Plan: Former oasthouse facing south south west, say south. T-plan stowage. The main block has a cart entrance in the right (east) end. A narrow block projects forward from the centre of the main block. It is lower than the main block. To left the main roof is carried down over an outshot. 3 hop kilns across the back of the main block.
Exterior: Attractively irregular 1:1:1-window front. C19 windows have iron- framed casements containing leaded glass and are being replaced by timber casements without glazing bars. Main stowage and front block both have half- hipped roofs. Hop kilns are circular in plan. They have eaves cornices of cogged brick and tall conical roofs.
Interior: Has plain but sturdy carpentry detail.
This oasthouse is unusually attractive and also forms part of a group with nearby Downingbury Farm Barn (q.v.) and the good early C18 Downingbury Farmhouse (q.v.).
