Description

Merton House is an early 19th-century building located on Queens' Road. It is two storeys high and constructed of gault brick with a slate roof. The front of the house is symmetrically designed, featuring a band between the storeys and three windows with glazing bars. The side windows have flat brick arches and jalousies. The middle window and the doorway both have semi-circular heads. Inside, there are many original fittings, including a notable staircase.

Local climate

Merton House 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 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% 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.

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.
