Description

Synehurst is a cottage built in the late 18th century. It is constructed of cob, with a rough cast and colour washed finish, and features a thatched roof. The building has a two-bay plan, is one storey high with attics, and includes a 20th-century cross-wing. The original section has a central plank door, two 2-light horizontal sash windows, and two dormers with casement windows. There are red brick stacks that were originally located at both gable ends. Additionally, there is a 20th-century flat-roofed one-storey extension at the rear.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
