Description

The Hyde is a former range of three timber-framed and weatherboarded cottages, now converted into one tenement. It was renovated in the 20th century. The ground floor features plaster on the front, and the windows are 20th-century casements. The roof is tiled and has four gabled dormers on the front. Inside, there are some areas of exposed framing.

Local climate

The Hyde sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 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 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
