Description

Shangri La is a 17th-century timber-framed and plastered house that was refronted in the 18th century. It features painted stucco rusticated quoins. The building has two storeys and a four-window range, with double-hung sashes that have glazing bars on the first storey and 20th-century casements on the ground storey. There is a six-panel door with a moulded architrave and a cornice hood. At the north end, there is a small 20th-century shop front. The roofs are covered with old tiles.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
