Description

The Spinney is a 17th century timber-framed building that is plastered. It features a steep gable-ended roof covered with pantiles and stands two storeys tall. The façade has three windows with old three-light casements. There is a panelled door located off centre, next to a brick chimney stack. At the north end, there is a modern lean-to, and at the south end, there is a modern conservatory.

Local climate

The Spinney 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 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% 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.
