Description

The Thatch is an 18th century timber-framed and plastered building located in Catmere End, Littlebury. It is one storey high with attics and features a two-window range of horizontal sliding sashes with glazing bars. A modern central gabled porch projects from the front. The roof is thatched and half hipped at both the east and west ends, and it includes two dormers and an end chimney stack.

Local climate

The Thatch 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 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more 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 0.4°C per decade since 1991.
