Description

The Sugarloaf is a house that was formerly a public house, dating from the early 18th century. It features colourwashed rendered infill and a thatched roof. The building has a three-bay plan and is one storey high with attics. On the ground floor, there are three 3-light casement windows, while the attic includes an eyebrow dormer with a 2-light casement window. A 20th-century gabled porch with a clay tiled roof is present at the entrance. The house has one red brick ridge stack and one red brick gable end stack. Additionally, there is a 20th-century addition that projects to the rear.

Local climate

The Sugarloaf 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 91% 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 56% 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.
