Description
Granta is a grade II listed range of 17th century timber-framed and plastered buildings located on Newport Station Road, extending to the east. At the west end, there is a 19th century red brick block that faces High Street. The building is two storeys high. The east wing features four windows with casement frames and a thatched roof. The west block has three windows on its western front and a two-storey canted bay on the south side. The windows include a mix of partly double-hung sashes with glazing bars and partly modern top-opening casements that mimic the appearance of double-hung sashes. The roof of the west block is slate and hipped at both the north and south ends.
Local climate
Granta 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.
