Description

Mount House is a 17th-century timber-framed and plastered house that has been significantly altered in the 18th century. It has two storeys and attics, featuring a three-window range with 3-light casement windows that include glazing bars from the 20th century. The entrance is marked by a wooden doorcase with plain pilasters, a decorated frieze, and a cornice. The roof is tiled and half-hipped at both the east and west ends, with one modern dormer window on the front and a large square chimney stack located centrally.

Mount 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.
