Description

24 Bell Street is a Grade II listed building dating from around 1700. It is a timber-framed house with a plastered exterior, featuring a steep old tile roof, slate eaves courses, and a broad coved cornice beneath the eaves. The house has two storeys and two windows. There are double plank doors leading to a carriageway that provides access to the yard. To the west of the double doors, there is a 19th-century shopfront with pilasters, an entablature, and a panelled stall riser. The windows are flush sash with six-over-six panes. The west gable rises above the adjacent roof and is adorned with horizontal shiplap boarding, narrow verge boards, and a round-headed feature with a planted keystone at the roof apex. The house shares its chimney with No 26 to the east, and the rear roof slopes of both houses are continuous, suggesting they were originally one building. There are also rear extensions.

Local climate

24, Bell Street 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.
