The Kilns

The Kilns, Former residential building in Headington, Oxford, United Kingdom.

Description

The Kilns is a two-story brick house with a traditional English garden located on Oxford's eastern edge near Headington Quarry. The building features multiple chimneys and maintains its original brick exterior from the period of construction.

History

The property dates to the early 1920s, built on land that previously served as a brick kiln facility. Its transformation from production site to residence reflects how the location was repurposed during that period.

Culture

The name reflects its past industrial purpose, and visitors today experience it as a physical record of the area's working heritage. The brick construction and layout show how production and domestic life were once intertwined here.

Practical

Visits to the property require advance arrangement through the local heritage organization that manages it. Contact ahead to schedule a viewing at a time that works for you.
