Description

Colne Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 18th century. It has a timber frame with roughcast walls, and the front has been bricked forward, probably in the 18th century. Gable end chimney stacks have been added. The roof is covered with plain tiles, and the building has one storey with attics. There are two segmental-headed casement windows on the ground floor. A late 18th century or early 19th century plank door is present, and there is a casement window in a gabled attic dormer that was added around 1970.

Colne Cottage 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 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% 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.
