Description

Gooseberry is a timber-framed and plastered building, likely dating from the 16th to 17th century, though it has been significantly altered over time. The roof is thatched, and the building has one storey with attics. It features modern casement windows and a gabled dormer. There is a small addition on the east end, and a wing extends to the north at the rear. A ridge chimney stack is present.

Local climate

Gooseberry 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.
