Description

Lavender House is an 18th century brick house that may incorporate elements from an earlier structure. The building has been partly demolished and was rebuilt at the rear in the 20th century. It has two storeys and features a two-window range with casements that include glazing bars, which were added in the 20th century. A raised brick band runs between the two storeys, and the roof is covered with Old Cambridgeshire tiles.

Lavender 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 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 56% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
