Description

The Magnolias is a house dating from the 17th century, with a facade added in the mid 19th century. It has a timber frame, with the front covered in red brick and the rest roughcast-rendered. The roof is pantiled and the house is one and a half storeys high, designed in a two-cell, lobby entry style. There are two windows featuring 19th-century three-light casements set under cambered arches, with brick hoodmoulds above. A mid-20th century gabled porch with a double-glazed door is present at the entrance. The house has two gabled dormers and an internal stack with an original oblong shaft. To the left, there is a later addition that includes a large single-pane mid-20th century window. Inside, the ground floor rooms have plain joists that are set flat, and some plain studding is exposed in one of the upstairs rooms. The staircase features a newel post.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% 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.
