Description

Malvern Cottage is a cottage that possibly dates from the late 17th century. It features a timber-framed structure with rough cast render and a thatched roof. The cottage has a gault brick ridge stack and an end stack on the right side. It is one storey high with an attic. There is a thatched open porch with a boarded door leading to the main entrance. On the ground floor, there are four windows, three of which have horizontal sliding sashes, along with four casement dormer windows in the attic.

Local climate

Malvern Cottage 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 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 55% 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.
