Description

Bumble is a pair of cottages dating from the 17th century. They are timber framed and plastered, topped with a gabled peg tile roof. The cottages are one storey with attics and feature four gabled dormers on the front roof slope, which contain 19th-century casement windows.

Cottage No. 4 has a simple door and two 19th-century casements with single horizontal glazing bars. Cottage No. 2 has two 20th-century small pane casements and a large one-storey rear extension with a lean-to porch and a gabled dormer facing south. Additionally, No. 2 has a flat-roofed rear extension. The ridge line is off centre, and there is a tall chimney stack with an inglenook opening to No. 2.

Local climate

Bumble 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 94% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 53% 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.
