Description

The Nutteries is a Grade II listed building that consists of two cottages, which have now been combined into one. It dates from the 17th century and features a timber frame with rendered wattle and daub infill beneath a thatched roof. The layout follows a three-cell lobby entrance plan and the building is one storey high with a dormer attic, set on a brick plinth.

There is a door located to the left of the stack and a second door to the right, which is positioned behind a 20th-century porch. The building has two 18th-century casement windows and one 19th-century sash window. The gabled roof includes a sloping pantiled dormer that contains an 18th-century sash window, along with a ridge stack.

To the left of the main structure, there is a two-storey extension with a pantiled roof and 18th-century windows, as well as a further single-storey outbuilding, also with a pantiled roof. Inside, there are diamond stops on the bridging beams, a winder staircase located by the stack, and a roof featuring spine beams and collars, the latter of which have been added to support the attic ceiling.

Local climate

The Nutteries 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 89% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
