Description

The Old House is an early 18th century timber-framed and plastered building, originally a range of cottages that has been converted into a single tenement. It has one storey and attics, featuring small casement windows with lattice leaded lights. The roof is thatched and hipped, with four gabled dormers. The building has been renovated.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more 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.
