Description

Japonica House is a house from the late 18th century that has been altered. It is constructed of handmade brown brick and features a stone slate roof. The building has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys high with three bays that are almost symmetrical. There is a moulded band of three courses at the first floor level. The segmental-headed doorway is slightly offset to the right of centre, with two segmental-headed windows at the ground floor and three above. All these openings have gauged brick heads, although the glazing in the centre window of the first floor is altered and appears to be blind or blocked and rendered. The house has gable chimney stacks, with the one on the right being coupled with the chimney of Foulby Lodge, which is attached at that end.

Local climate

Japonica House receives an average of 800 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 56% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 71% of listed buildings. Of these, 19 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.
