Description

Hole Farmhouse is an early 16th century timber-framed and plastered house featuring a cross wing at the north-east end, creating a T-shaped plan. The ground floor of the south-east front is faced in red brick, likely added in the 18th century, while the upper storey is plastered and has a scratch line finish resembling ashlar. The building has two storeys and a four-window range, with leaded casements on the upper storey and double-hung sashes with glazing bars on the ground floor. The roof is tiled and includes a tall octagonal chimney stack next to a later rectangular stack. Inside, there are heavy exposed ceiling beams and joists.

Hole Farmhouse 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.
