Description

Alpine Cottage is an end of terrace cottage dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of multi-coloured stock brick and has two storeys with one window. The entrance, located on the right-hand side, features a 20th-century door with a bracketed canopy, accessed through a door in the wall. Both the ground and first floors have segmental-arched flush framed sashes with horned glazing bars, and there is a slightly recessed sash on the right-hand return. The building has a parapet and two circular tie-plates at the upper first and second floor levels. The interior has not been inspected.

Alpine Cottage 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 98% 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 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
