Description

Meadowside is a cottage that likely dates from the late 17th century, with a small 20th-century extension on the right side. It is timber-framed, roughcast rendered, and has a tiled roof featuring a ridge stack made of early 19th-century grey brick. The building has a three-bay layout with a lobby entry plan, and the service end is located on the right side. It is two storeys high and has two small pane horizontal sliding sash windows. The doorway is situated in its original position opposite the stack, and there is a small window in the former service bay. On the rear wall at the first floor, there is an original leaded light casement window. Inside, some timber framing is exposed, and there are sealed abutting inglenook hearths, one of which has a mid-19th-century reed fireplace surround, along with an ogee stop-chamfered main beam.

Local climate

Meadowside 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 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 52% 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.

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.
