Description

Cleave House is a mid-16th century timber-framed and plastered house built on a half-H plan. It has been considerably altered and renovated in the 20th century. The north front features projecting wings, with the space between them built out at ground storey level. The windows are leaded casements. The roof is tiled, and the wings on the north front retain original carved bargeboards. An external chimney stack is located at the east end, and a later addition with a catslide roof, weather-boarded on the ground storey, is situated at the west end.

Local climate

Cleave House 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.
