Description
Gooseberry Hall is a small timber-framed building dating from the late 16th or 17th century. It was likely originally a smallholders' farmhouse designed in the hall-kitchen and parlour style. The walls are currently covered in cement render with imitation framing. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring 19th and 20th-century windows. There is a battened door with fillets and nails. The roof is steeply pitched and tiled, with two dormer windows. Inside, some of the framing is exposed.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
