Description

Stanhope Cottage is a late 18th-century cottage located on the south side of Main Road in Wigtoft. It is timber framed with red brick facing in an English garden wall bond pattern of three. The roof is covered with pantiles, and a central brick stack is rendered. The cottage follows a lobby entry plan and has a single storey plus a garret. The front has three bays, with a central planked door flanked by two-light glazing bar sashes, one fixed and one sliding. All window and door openings have brick segmental heads. A single-storey service wing extends to the rear. Some internal evidence of the original timber frame survives.

Local climate

Stanhope Cottage 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 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 83% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 68% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
