Description

21 and 23 Watergate is an 18th-century building that stands two stories high with attics. It is constructed of stone and features a band between the storeys, a pantile roof, and a moulded cornice below the parapet. The façade includes five windows with flushed frames and glazing bars, along with two dormers that have wooden cornices and pediments. There is a square-headed plain doorway with an old frame leading to a passage on the left, while the rest of the ground floor has a modern shop front. Inside, there is a panelled room from the 18th century on the first floor and a very good middle 18th-century staircase. At the back, there is a red brick wing, which is said to have been built to accommodate the Prince Regent, although it lacks notable architectural merit.

Local climate

21 and 23, Watergate sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 81% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 36 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
