Description

Oak Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1600. It has a substantial timber frame with a colour washed roughcast render on the exterior and a clay tile roof. The house features a 3-room plan and consists of one storey with attics, and it appears to have aisles at both the front and rear. The windows vary, with most being 19th-century sashes on the ground floor. The east elevation has three gabled dormers that contain 20th-century casements. There is one red brick double ridge stack that serves back-to-back hearths, and a 19th-century yellow brick integral stack on the north gable end. The entrances are enclosed within 20th-century single storey additions on the west and south sides.

Oak Farmhouse sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% 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 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 51% 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.
