Description

Hyams House is a cottage that dates from the 17th century or earlier, with later alterations and additions. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure topped with a red plain tiled roof. The building has an off-centre left red brick chimneystack with plastered panels. It is one storey high with attics and includes two gabled dormers. The front has three small paned casements and an off-centre left board door with a simple surround, along with a similar door on the right return. Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace and chamfered bridging joists.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
