Description

Pink Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th century. It is two storeys tall and features rendered timber framing with cross gables, forming an L shape. The cottage has casement windows and a thatched roof with a ridge stack. On the ground floor of the north wall, there is one diamond mullioned window that survives in part, along with two blocked original windows, possibly similar in style, located on the north and south walls upstairs. The condition of the building is currently affected by ongoing construction work, making further assessment difficult.

Local climate

Pink Cottage sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 83% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 27 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 71% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
