Description

Beth Gilboa is a house that dates from the 17th century or earlier. It is a small, two-storey timber-framed structure with a thatched roof, facing south. The house features an integral rear outshot that has a catslide continuation of the main roof. There is an external gable chimney on the west side. The upper floor is covered in dark weatherboarding, while the ground floor and the chimneystack are plastered. The windows are modern casements with two lights. To the east, there is a later one-and-a-half storey extension with a tiled roof and twin dormers.

Beth Gilboa 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 92% 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 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% 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.

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.
