Description

The Nook is a building that was originally likely part of a block that included Nos 11 and 13, but it now stands as a separate tenement. The front dates from the 18th century and is attached to an earlier timber-framed and plastered structure. The building has two storeys and features one window range. On the ground floor, there is an 18th-century bay window with glazing bars and a six-panel door topped with a semi-circular fanlight. The upper storey has a modern casement window. The roof is tiled.

Local climate

The Nook sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% 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.

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.
