Description

Wharton Square consists of two cottages located at the rear and at right angles to Nos 63 to 75 (odd) Highgate Road. These cottages were built around 1800 to 1830 and are constructed from sandstone brick with stone slate roofs. They feature two-light square mullion windows set in squared surrounds and have squared jamb doorways. The cottages are included for their group value in the core of Old Dolphin Hamlet.

It experiences an average of 46 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 88% of listed buildings. Of these, 26 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.
