Description

This is a late 16th and 17th century house, originally timber-framed and now plastered, with half-hipped thatched roofs. The house is single-storey with attics, featuring one gabled dormer on the west side. A 20th-century extension with a thatched roof and a large gabled dormer on the north side has been added to the east. A gault brick stack rises through the west side of the roof, and there are 20th-century casement windows with small panes. The house was formerly divided into two or three smaller units. The south end displays 17th-century timber framing with straight bracing. The north end exhibits heavy timber framing with internal compression bracing at the corners and jowled posts, likely dating from the late 16th century. It includes a splayed scarf with under-squinted abutments in the top plate and probably incorporates re-used timbers.

Local climate

Hydes 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 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.
