Description

Glasscocks is a cottage dating from the 17th century or earlier. It features a timber frame with red brick facing, and some of the frame is exposed on the gable ends. The building has corner buttresses and a red plain tiled half hipped gambrel roof, which includes two catslide dormers. A dentilled eaves cornice adds detail to the roofline. There are two casement windows, and to the left side, there is a red tiled porch with a vertically boarded door.

Local climate

Glasscocks 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.
