Description

The Meadows is a 17th-century timber-frame cottage. It has a facade with sham applied timber framing. The roof is steeply pitched and tiled, with gabled ends. A brick chimney stack is positioned off-centre. The building is one storey high with an attic. A modern, two-storey, gabled porch stands in front of the stack. A modern gabled dormer window has been added. The windows are modern casements. A lean-to addition is present at the north end.

Local climate

The Meadows 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 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
