Description

The Bothy is a 16th or 17th century timber-framed house located on Prince Charles Avenue in Orsett. It features a mid-19th century east wing that creates two parallel ranges, with a gabled roof facing the road. The building has two storeys and attics, topped with a red plain tile roof. The 19th century wing includes a three-window range of double-hung vertical sliding sashes with glazing bars, all set beneath moulded labels. The central doorway is adorned with a rectangular fanlight and a hood supported by shaped brackets. The west range is faced in brick and has a single-storey wing added to the east in the 19th century.

The Bothy sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 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 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 22 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 77% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 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.
