 The Oast Barn, Warehorne, KentAs featured in the
Observer
At the beginning of the
project the building was an empty shell with much of the timbers
missing and in need of replacing having been left untouched and unloved
for years.
The
roundel was completely rebuilt by the client along with the roof
rafters and timbers. We used local hand made clay Kent peg
tiles specifically made for the roof and roundel. All aspects
of the project were carried out with the local heritage in mind.
The Barn is situated in a key position in the local landscape
and needed to reflect the splendour of its location. We, the
client and the locals are very pleased with the result.

This Oasts
was originally a square kiln. This was rebuilt from a square base to a
round top to give a more aesthetic look to the kiln with the cowl in
place.
