Description

The Lodge is a mid 19th century building that served as the former gate lodge to Ayot House. It is constructed of chequered red brick and features an old tile roof. The building has an L-shape and is composed of one to two storeys. It includes 2-light cast iron latticework casements that have rubbed brick segmental lintels and hood moulds. A large chimney stack is present, which has joined octagonal shafts and moulded caps.

Local climate

The Lodge 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.
