Description

Luthers is a substantial early 19th-century house, dating largely from 1767, with a colourwashed brick exterior and a hipped roof covered in Welsh slate. The building incorporates an earlier house situated on a lower level, which has since been built up. The two-storey structure has wide eaves and five sash windows with glazing bars, each fitted with blind shades. A central Doric porch shelters a half-glazed two-fold door with octagonal fielded panels. Louvered shutters are fitted to the first-floor windows. The interior is largely unaltered and features carved marble fireplaces, possibly of Italian origin. It is believed that some timber framework from the earlier house on the site remains within the building.

Local climate

Luthers sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 63% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
