Description

Wheat Ing is a row of three cottages dating from around 1780, which have now been combined into a single residence. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high and originally consisted of three single cells, each with a door framed by monolithic jambs and a five-light chamfered mullioned window, which includes a taller central light designed for a sashed window. The glazing has been altered, and the central doorway has been blocked. The building also has moulded gutter brackets, coped gables with kneelers, and two tall stacks at the ridge.

Local climate

Wheat Ing sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,100 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 53 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 31 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.
