Description

This is a pair of 17th-century cottages located on the south side of High Road in Fircot, known as Caira and Caira Fircot. The cottages are constructed of brick and timber framing, with a plastered finish and a thatched roof. They are one storey high with attics and feature a three-window range of 18th-century horizontal sliding sashes that include glazing bars. There are also two "eyebrow" dormers and a lean-to extension at the west end.

Local climate

Caira Fircot sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 670 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 74% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
