Description

This 17th-century building is a long range constructed of painted brick, plaster, and random weatherboards. The roof features a ridge, a hip, and gablets at the north end, with three flat, tiled dormers and one gabled dormer on the east slope. Two red brick chimneys are situated near each end of the building. Two later porches have been added to the east wall. The ground storey windows are mixed in style, with two sliding sash windows visible at the north end. A modern one-storey extension is present, along with a small, gabled brick wing at the northwest corner, which is covered in peg tiles and has no windows.

Local climate

Thatchers 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.

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.
