Description

Hinxworth House is a house that was formerly the rectory, dating from the mid-18th century, with a rainwater head at the back dated 1746. It was altered in the early 19th century. The building features roughcast brick walls and a plain tile roof, standing two storeys over a cellar. The three-window front has a central 18th-century half-glazed door, which is framed by a moulded architrave with panels and scrolls on either side, topped with a moulded cornice. There are five stone steps leading up to the door. Above the door is a single sash window with a moulded architrave, and on either side are 18th-century triple-hung sash windows. A 19th-century canted bay window is located at the front right. The gable ends have white brick stacks, and at the rear left, there is a two-storey canted sash bay with a dentilled cornice. A large 18th-century chequered brick stack is present on the flanking wall. The right return elevation displays two bays with hipped roofs.

Local climate

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 55% 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.
