Description

The Rosses is a 17th-century timber-framed and weatherboarded house, featuring a red plain tile gambrel roof. It has a rectangular plan with a lean-to at the rear. The house includes a three-window range with double-hung sashes and casements that have glazing bars. There are two dormers with sloping roofs. The original 17th-century stack is located at the east end, along with a 19th-century stack.

Local climate

The Rosses 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 greater than that of 50% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 17 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.
