Description
The Homestead is a cottage, likely dating from the 17th century. It features a pebble-dashed timber frame and a thatched roof, standing at one storey with an attic. The building has modern windows, and there are two dormers at the rear, with the southernmost dormer preserving a double ovolo moulded top rail from a former mullioned window. Additionally, there are lean-to extensions at the front and side of the cottage.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
