The oast house at Burgess Hill Farm was surveyed as part of a programme of building recording in 2009. From the report :

"Introduction
The oasthouse stands to the far north of the farmyard complex (Plate 35). The building is constructed of red brick with some weatherboarding and a clay peg tile roof. The cylindrical oasthouse is at the north end and the barn adjoins it to the south. The building is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1865, but has been highly modified both internally and externally to create a late 20th/ early 21st century flat on the first floor and a garage/store at ground floor level. Nothing relating to its former function as an oasthouse survives internally.

8.2 The exterior
The majority of the building is constructed of red brick in the same chequered Flemish bond found elsewhere, although the bricks appear to be much later than that used in the house and the barn. The south-east wall of the oasthouse is cladded with weatherboarding and contains a wide timber plank door at ground floor level (probably late 20th century). There are three windows on the barn section of the building, in the south-west, south-east and north-east walls, which are all late 20th century timber frame designs. There are also two windows on each floor of the rounded end of the building, all of which have the same matching late 20th century design. There is a doorway at first floor level in the south-west wall, which provides access to the flat above by means of a set of external timber steps.

8.3 The interior (Figure 26)
The ground floor rooms of the oasthouse consist of one rectangular space and a round room at the far north end (Plate 36). The walls are whitewashed, those in the barn/rectangular room being lined with concrete blocks and in the oasthouse being constructed of brick. The floor is covered with concrete and the ceiling is flat and supported by timber
beams, all of which are late 20th century. The doorway from the barn to the rounded oasthouse has a shallow segmental arch and timber lintel. At first floor level the rooms have been highly modified with the insertion of a late 20th
century kitchen and bathroom (Plate 37). The floors are polished timber floorboards and the ceiling is supported by timber beams. All of the rooms are lit by late 20th century windows." (1)
