Description

Darnley House is an early to mid-19th century villa of three storeys and a basement, originally with three windows. It is constructed of stock brick, with a fairly low-pitched slate roof and a stuccoed basement. The windows are sash windows with replaced architraves; those on the ground floor have console bracketed cornices. A five-step approach leads to a wide four-panel double door, which is sheltered by a prostyle Ionic porch and topped with a rectangular fanlight.

Local climate

Darnley House 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 95% 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 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% 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.

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.
