Description

The Headgate Hotel is a 17th-century building with a later front that features three storeys and is constructed of painted brick. It has a parapet and a two-window range of double-hung sashes, each with three lights and glazing bars. The ground floor contains public house rooms, and the roofs are tiled. At the rear, there is a long wing that extends south, with the upper storey projecting on the west supported by carved brackets.

Local climate

Headgate Hotel sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 670 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 51% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 83% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 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.
