Description

Hoppetts is a house dating from the 17th century or earlier. It is a tall, two-storey timber-framed building that is weatherboarded and painted blue, facing north. The house features a steep half-hipped thatched roof with lean-to outshots at each end. In the center, there is a large chimney with a door leading into a lobby by the stack. The building has three windows, which are 19th-century wooden two-light casements with horizontal glazing bars. A tarred brick plinth supports the structure, and there are louvred shutters on both floors of the windows to the west of the door.

Local climate

Hoppetts 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.
