Description

Breewood Hall is a 15th-century building featuring a timber-framed structure with plastered walls, coved eaves, and a hipped roof covered in peg tiles, oriented southeast to northwest and standing two storeys high. At the northwest end, there is a crosswing that includes a red brick chimney stack from the 15th century on its northeast return, with guilloche plaster on the exterior. This wing was originally jettied on its northwest side and consists of three bays. The windows have been updated to paned sash windows on the first storey, with two pairs of glazed doors on the ground storey. A red brick extension of the same height and style was added later to the southeast, also three bays long, featuring an eaves string, three sash windows on the first storey, and a ridged, gabled roof, also covered in peg tiles. Inside, the building retains chamfered joists and a mantle-beam dating from around 1500.

Local climate

Breewood Hall 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.
