Description

Wentworth House, located on Chesterton Road, is a late 18th-century building. It features a symmetrical front and stands two storeys tall with attics. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a tiled mansard roof. A moulded wooden cornice runs below a low wooden parapet. The façade includes three windows with glazing bars, while the ground floor windows each have three lights. The central doorcase is set in a semi-circular headed recess and features a six-panelled door with a moulded architrave, side pilasters, a frieze, and a dentilled cornice. Additionally, there are three flat-topped dormers. The original staircase remains intact, along with other original and early 19th-century internal features.

Local climate

Wentworth 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.
