Description

The Chestnuts is a farmhouse built around 1800, with some minor alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a concrete tiled roof with raised brick coped gables and two gable stacks. The building is two stories high and has a three-bay front with brick dentillated eaves. The central entrance consists of a 20th-century door with a plain overlight, flanked by single margin light sash windows. On the first floor, there are three similar windows, and all openings have cambered rubbed brick arched heads. To the left of the main structure, there is a single-storey dairy with a pent roof.

Local climate

The Chestnuts sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 71% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
