Description

Garden House is a cottage that dates from the 16th or 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed with a timber frame and has parget plastered walls. The roof is covered with red plain tiles and features two gabled dormers. There are external red brick chimney stacks on both the left and right sides. The building has a wing at the rear and is one storey high with attics. It has a six-window range of small paned casements. Steps lead up to a 20th-century panelled door, which is sheltered by a slanting red tiled porch supported by brackets.

Local climate

Garden House 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 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 68% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 74% 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.

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.
