Description
The Den is an 18th-century house located next to No. 1 Bridgend. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and has a concrete tile roof. The building features a three-room plan and stands two storeys high. The off-centre ridge stack has been rebuilt using 20th-century bricks, and there is also a stack on the south gable end. The first floor includes three 2-light leaded casements, while the ground floor has three 3-light leaded casements beneath timber lintels, along with a blocked opening aligned with the ridge stack. To the right of the ground floor is a doorway that is topped by a gabled timber porch.

The Den 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 89% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
