Description

Brookside is a 17th century building that is the remains of a larger house. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, topped with an asbestos slate roof. The building has two storeys and features a two-window range with modern casements. A red brick chimney stack from the 18th century is present. At the rear, there is a single storey weatherboarded range, and a modern extension has been added to the north side.

Local climate

Brookside 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 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
