Description

Far End is a small 17th century timber-frame house that has been rendered. It features a steep gable-ended roof that is thatched and also clad in corrugated iron. The house has two storeys and four widely spaced windows, which include small 19th or 20th century two-light casements and a modern bow window. There are two modern doors, and an internal brick stack is located at each end of the building.

Far End 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.
