Description
Thorpes is a cottage that dates from the late 16th century and late 17th century. It was divided into four tenements around 1830. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with thatched roofs that are half hipped to the left. There is an end stack on the left and two ridge stacks. Originally, it was a one-storey and attic structure with a three-unit lobby entry plan, and it had single-storey kitchen and service rooms to the north. The building was partly altered in the late 19th century to function as a shop but has now been restored as a single dwelling. The entrance has been moved to the right of centre and features a boarded door. There are four ground floor casement windows and one eyebrow dormer window. Inside, the timber frame and floor frames are exposed, showcasing original hearths. Some of the timber framing appears to be reused or part of an earlier building on the site.
Local climate
Thorpes sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 87% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 73% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
