Description

Abbey Close is a 17th or early 18th century stone house located in Thorney. It features a steeply pitched Welsh slate roof and is two storeys high with an attic. The building has six bays, with the end bays projecting as gabled wings. There are string courses and sash windows with glazing bars set in flush casings. A gabled dormer is positioned at the center of the roof. To the left of the center, there is a panelled door topped with a flat hood. The house also has two ridge stacks.

Abbey Close 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 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% 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.
