Description

Malsters Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that was restored around 1980. It features a rendered timber frame and a steeply pitched tiled roof, which has a small grey gault brick ridge stack. The cottage has a plan consisting of three bays and a lobby entry. It is one storey with an attic and includes one gable dormer. Although the three windows and doorway are from the 20th century, the doorway likely occupies the original position opposite the stack.

Local climate

Malsters Cottage sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% 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.
