Description
Valley Farm House is a house that was later divided into two dwellings. It dates from the 17th century and was extended in the late 18th or early 19th century. The building features a timber frame and is extended with clay lump, all covered in plaster. It has a steeply pitched thatched roof, with hipped pantiled roofs on the additions. The house consists of two cells and is one storey high with an attic. There are boarded doors to the right of each cell and 19th-century glazing bar timber and metal frame casements. A central axial ridge stack is present, and the left gable end has a boarded loft opening, along with exposed plates and purlins. At the rear, there are two clay lump additions of unequal length, both with hips to the rear and a stack in the central valley, along with a door in the left return.
Local climate
Valley Farm House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
