Description
The Slade is a house built in the mid or late 18th century. It has two storeys and is constructed of red brick, featuring a string course at the first floor and a cornice at the base of the parapet. The roof is pantiled, with internal and gable chimneys made of red brick, and a parapet gable at the right-hand end. The windows have flat arches made of gauged brick and are fitted with small-pane 20th-century casements that imitate sash windows. The entrance door is six-panelled and includes a semi-circular fanlight with radiating bars, topped by a broken pediment on console brackets. The house has a three-cell plan with a rear outshut, making it an unusually late example of this traditional layout. It was formerly known as Ivydene and is indicated as such on maps.

It experiences an average of 22 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 77% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
