Description
Chestnuts is a mid-19th century house, possibly with earlier origins. It is constructed of gault brick with a red brick tiled roof arranged in a diaper pattern using lighter red tiles. A gable end stack is located on the left-hand side, and a plastered ridge stack is positioned to the right of centre. The main parallel range fronts the street, with later additions to the rear. A slightly projecting gabled entrance features a door with six raised and fielded panels. The ground floor has three, three-light transomed casement windows, and the first floor has four smaller, similar windows, all with chamfered flat arches.
Local climate
Chestnuts sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 74% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 55% 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.
