Description

Stocks is a house that features elements from the 18th century, though it may have an earlier origin. The building is primarily timber framed and has a rough rendered finish, with red brick facing on the return wall. It has a half H-plan layout and hipped roofs covered with red plain tiles, which have a moulded eaves cornice. There are red brick chimney stacks on both the right and left returns. The house is two storeys high and has a five-window range, featuring small paned vertically sliding sashes with thick glazing bars and moulded surrounds. There are pentice boards above the ground floor windows. The central entrance has a six-panelled door, and it is sheltered by a leaded concave tent porch supported by double columns, which has an ornately scalloped cornice. To the right, there is a small single-storey extension with a red tiled roof and one small paned casement window.

Stocks 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.
