Description

Highfields Lodge is a small country house located in grounds, dating from 1856. Originally named Ross Villa, this is indicated by a date plaque on the front elevation. The building is constructed of yellow brick with a Welsh slate roof and a hipped roof featuring an eaves cornice. It has two storeys and attics. There are six sash windows with glazing bars; the first-floor window reveals have flat arches, while the ground-floor windows are flush set within moulded frames. A one-storey bay casement window is also present. A stucco Doric porch with pilasters, frieze, cornice, and a blocking course fronts the building, sheltering a four-panel door.

Local climate

Highfields Lodge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
