Description

Oak Hall is a mid-19th century hall house, built by G.E. Pritchett in an imitation Elizabethan timber-framed style. The house is constructed with an exposed timber frame, pargeting, and modern cement rendering. It has weatherboarded gables and a steep roof covered in old red tiles. The building consists of a central block with two cross wings set at right angles to the street. The south elevation features a lean-to porch situated at the angle of the east projecting wing, which has a tiled roof, reused late Gothic tracery in the spandrel, and an Elizabethan bargeboard. Modern casements are present on both floors. The west projection has a cement-rendered ground floor with three narrow lights linked by a hood mould course. The plastered first floor displays bold pargetted armorial motifs. Inserted Jacobean stone carvings are incorporated into the centre of the ground floor's cemented base. Four very tall mullioned brick stacks punctuate the facade.

Local climate

Oak Hall 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.

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.
