Description

De Bois Hall is a house that dates from the 17th century or earlier for the front range, with rear ranges added in the 18th century and later alterations and additions. The building is timber framed, possibly with a plastered brick facade, and features a central band. It has a red plain tiled roof and end chimney stacks. The house is two storeys high and has a two-window range of vertically sliding sashes with glazing bars, along with bays on the ground floor. A central gabled porch contains a 20th-century door. At the rear range, there is a moulded rainwater head dated 1724. Inside, much of the frame is covered, but stop-chamfered bridging joists and flat section ceiling beams are visible.

Local climate

De Bois Hall sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 89% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 64% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 86% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
