Description

Monks is a 17th to 18th century timber-framed and plastered building with a thatched roof. Originally a row of cottages, it has been renovated and converted into a single tenement. The building has one storey and attics, featuring casement windows. A modern porch extends at the front, with the thatched roof continuing over it. There are five gabled dormers on the front, along with one chimney stack at the ridge and another at one end.

Local climate

Monks 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.
