Description

Hogsland is a house dating from the 16th century, originally a gable-end structure that was moved from St Ippollitts in 1928 and extended to form an L shape, with further extension in 1983 that matches the original style. The house features an exposed timber frame, with the earlier section comprising a close-studded two-bay range and an upper floor that jetties on curved braces. Tension braces are present on both the front and side elevations. The west side has two first-floor three-light mullioned oak casements flanking a large mid-17th century red-brick chimney stack. The extension includes four windows, with a red brick ground floor and a half-timber upper floor, and 20th-century leaded casements throughout.

Local climate

Hogsland sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
