Description

College Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates from the 16th to 17th century and was built in two or more phases. The structure is timber framed, featuring a late 19th-century white brick facade, with parts that are roughcast rendered and plastered. The roof is covered with pantiles. The building has two storeys and an attic in the right-hand wing.

The main range is flanked by cross wings and has five windows, which are mostly 19th-century three-light mullion and transom casements with large panes, set beneath flat arches on ornamental consoles. At the left end of the main range, there is a six-panel bolection moulded door, with the upper two panels glazed, and an open timber porch supported by octagonal columns. There are also two additional boarded doors.

Inside, the main range features a heavy internal stack above the left-hand doorway and two smaller stacks. One ground floor room has exposed chamfered joists, and there are original newel stairs leading to the attic.

Local climate

College Farmhouse 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
