Description

Homelea is a house built around 1780. It has a timber frame and is roughly rendered. The roof is covered with red plain tiles and features a central round-headed dormer window with a double-hung small-paned sliding sash window. The house has two storeys and an attic, with a moulded wood eaves cornice. There are five windows in total, all double-hung small-paned sashes set in moulded surrounds, with the upper central window having a round head. The entrance features a six-panel door flanked by Corinthian pilasters and a frieze decorated with swags and urns. Above the door is a good segmental porch head with a metal plain fan decoration, supported by attached shaft columns. There are plastered brick chimney stacks on both the left and right sides of the house.

Local climate

Homelea 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 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
