Description
The Manse is an 18th-century timber-framed building, originally plastered and now faced with pebbledash, with a yellow brick east end. It is two storeys high and has a three-window front. The upper storey features horizontal sliding sash windows with glazing bars, while the ground storey has double-hung sashes with glazing bars. A central doorway is framed by wood with fluted pilasters, a pulvinated frieze, and a cornice. The roof is tiled and has a half-hipped design at the east and west ends. Two small gabled wings project at the rear, and these may be older than the main section of the building.
Local climate
The Manse sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 86% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
