Description

Long Meadow is a house dating from the 17th century, with an eastern extension added in the 20th century. It features a timber frame construction with roughcast and a steep old red tile roof. The house is two storeys high and has a three-cell layout with a lobby entry and an internal chimney plan, facing south. The eastern extension is of a similar form but has a roof that extends down as a catslide over a front projection. The junction between the original house and the extension is marked by a full-height recess at the rear.

The south front has three windows on each floor of the original part, along with a small gabled porch aligned with the internal chimney, which is positioned a third from the former eastern end (now in the middle due to the extension). The windows are leaded flush casements, with three-lights and two-lights. The rear of the house features windows on each floor in bays flanking the internal chimney, similar to the front, and there is an external chimney on the rear wall in the western bay. The western gable end includes a canted bay window on the ground floor and a two-lights casement on the first floor.

Local climate

Long Meadow sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
