Description

The Grove is a building dated 1814, located on Huntingdon Road. It has been altered and enlarged in the late 19th century. The exterior is faced in grey gault brick with stone dressings, likely over red brickwork that can still be seen in the cellars. The building is two storeys high, with some parts having cellars and attics. The original northeast and northwest fronts are symmetrical. The northeast front features a central recessed entrance with plain Doric columns and a stone lintel, flanked by recessed sash windows with segmental heads. There are plain windows above, while the northwest front has a central bay that rises through both storeys, otherwise resembling the northeast front. A plat band is present at the first-floor level, along with paired dentils and a timber eaves cornice. Inside, there is an original staircase and some fireplace surrounds. The roofs are low pitched and covered with slate.

Local climate

The Grove 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.
