Description

Spoutwell House is a house dating from the mid-16th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The house was rebuilt on the site of an open hall that is associated with No. 2, Dynes Cottage. There is a rear stack that has been partly rebuilt, and a single-storey extension to the left. The house is two storeys high and features a three-window range of 20th-century casements. The central door is topped with a moulded flat canopy supported by slender columns. Inside, some of the frame is exposed, showcasing stop-chamfered beams.

Local climate

Spoutwell House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 660 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 67% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 74% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
