Description

The School House is a 17th-century plastered timber-frame building located on Windfarthing Mill Road. It features a steep pantile roof with gabled ends and stands two storeys high. The façade includes two widely spaced windows, which are early 19th-century three-light casements. There are brick chimney stacks at both ends of the house. The south end is partly weatherboarded, and there is a later lean-to extension at the rear. A more recent house is attached to the north side of the School House.

Local climate

School House 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.
