Description

Moss Bank is a house dating from the late 18th century, constructed of brick with a slate roof. It stands two storeys high and features three bays. The windows have gauged brick flat arches, with the first bay having segmental arches, and originally had paired sashes, although only the frames remain. The central entrance has a flat arch and a single-sashed window above it. There are gable-end stacks, one of which is truncated. At the rear, there is an outshut under a lean-to roof. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is reported to contain features of interest, including a cut string staircase, a fielded panel door, and a stone fireplace.

Local climate

Moss Bank sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,190 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 91% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
