Description

The Getty is a cottage dating from the mid 17th century, with a 20th-century wing added. It has a gable end facing the road and was originally designed with a three-bay plan, though the eastern bay has been removed. The structure is timber framed, roughcast, and cement rendered, topped with a thatched roof and a ridge stack. The cottage is one storey high with attics, featuring two dormers and two windows fitted with 20th-century casements. The entrance is located in the 20th-century wing. Inside, the wall and floor framing is visible. The building is also noted on a map from the Huntingdon Record Office dated 1659.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% 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.
