Description

Maryvale is a timber-frame cottage, likely built in the early 18th century. It features roughcast walls with brick-faced end walls and has a steep pantile roof with gabled ends. The cottage is one storey high with an attic. On the ground floor, there are two modern casement windows and a central modern glazed door. Additionally, there is one wedge-shaped dormer. The building has two brick stacks, one external and the other internal, and there is a later brick lean-to on the north end.

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.
