Description

Benet is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the late 18th century and incorporates a 17th-century timber-framed building in the rear wing. The property was altered in the mid-19th century and early 20th century. The front is made of brick, which has been colourwashed, with a rendered ground floor and a slate roof. The rear wing is timber-framed, clad in colourwashed brick, and has a pantile roof.

The front features a first-floor band and dentilled eaves, with an external rear wall stack. The front windows are plain sashes, and the building has three storeys with a two-window range. There are two larger sashes with segmental heads on the front, along with two smaller sashes above. A late 20th-century replica wooden shopfront is located to the left, with a door. The single-storey rear wing has 20th-century glazing, and the rear gable displays a pair of principal rafters with double purlins.

Benet sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 89% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 91% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 72% 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.

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.
