Description

Well Cottage is a former pair of cottages that has been converted into a single dwelling, likely dating from the 17th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, with the plaster finished to resemble ashlar. It has a roof covered with modern concrete pantiles and stands two storeys high. The cottage features a two-window range, primarily consisting of 2-light small pane casements. There are two doorways, each with a boarded door; the left-hand doorway includes a modern wooden porch. An internal stack is present within the structure.

Well Cottage sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 59% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 81% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 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.
