Description

Kennel Farmhouse is a 17th-century or earlier timber-framed farmhouse, with later brickwork on the south facade. It has two storeys and attics. The upper storey is jettied, projecting outwards and supported by five brackets, with exposed joists. The facade features a full range of eight 18th-century double-hung sash windows, a central timber door within a curved-head doorcase, and three tiled dormer windows. There are two central axial chimney stacks.

Kennel Farmhouse 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 84% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 56% 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.
