Description

Cathedral House is a late 19th-century rectory designed by G.G. Scott. It is constructed of Lincolnshire limestone ashlar with a lead roof and four stone chimneys. The building is arranged in an L-shape and built in the Early English Gothic revival style, displaying a six-window front. The main entrance is through an Early English door with iron strapwork, located within a single-storey front range featuring a crenellated parapet. A projecting left wing features two two-light lancet windows on the ground floor. The remaining windows have shafted mullions with leaded lights, and there are also attic lancets. A single-storey range extends to the right.

Cathedral House 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 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 75% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
