Description

This building at 2 Mill Lane is a house dating from the late 18th century and mid 19th century. It has two storeys, with the main part constructed from timber framing and brick infilling, covered in external render. A later addition at the back is made of red brick. The roofs are covered with black glazed pantiles and feature pierced and fluted barge-boards on all gables, along with a wide eaves overhang on the main range.

On the upper storey, there are three 3-light casement windows, each with transoms and arched Gothic heads; the central window is smaller than the two outer ones. The front entrance consists of a central plank door, flanked by two later 2-light casement windows. Additionally, in the south-east corner where the front and rear ranges meet, there is another entrance that was originally for a separate house, which includes an open timber porch with a tented roof and ornate spandrels between the supporting posts.

2 Mill Lane 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 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
