Description

The Haven is a house located on Shellfield Road in Southport, likely built in the late 18th century and altered over time. It features cream painted render, which is probably applied to brick, and has a slate roof with a rendered chimney. The house has a single-depth, two-unit plan with a small 20th-century addition at the rear.

The exterior is a single storey with a three-window range. The windows are casements, arranged in groups of two, two, and three lights, with the second and third being segmental-headed. There is a gable chimney on the right side and a doorway located in the right-hand return.

Although the interior has not been inspected, the house is part of a group of similar houses on the road, all of which have been altered but still represent the pre-industrial character of the area.

Local climate

the haven sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,310 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 13 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 88% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 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.
