Description

Cabbages is a timber-framed and plastered building, likely a hall house dating from the 15th to 16th century, with a floor added in the 16th to 17th century. The name is believed to come from a Huguenot weaver named Cabboche who lived in the house. The building has one storey and attics, featuring modern casement windows. The roof is tiled and half hipped, with a central chimney stack and one dormer. Inside, there are exposed timber-framing, ceiling beams, and joists.

Local climate

Cabbages sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% 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.
