Description

Veres is a house that originated in the 16th century or earlier, with later additions and an 18th-century facade on the front range. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered with ashlar lines, topped by a hipped roof covered in red plain tiles. At the rear, there is a red brick chimney stack. The house has two storeys and features a three-window range of small paned vertically sliding sashes with horns. There is an oriel window in the center of the first floor and hipped bays on the ground floor to the left and right. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door with moulded surrounds, a flat canopy, and brackets. The return walls display the exposed timber frame.

Local climate

Veres 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 95% 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 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% 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.

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.
