Description

The Cottage is a house dating to circa 1715, with later alterations. It is two storeys high with dormers, and has five windows. The house is constructed of brown brick with red brick dressings and an old tile roof. A red brick, barrel-vaulted basement is present, likely a remnant of a former conduit. The ground floor features near-flush French windows, and the wooden doorcase has been altered. Inside, several rooms are panelled, and a staircase is present with turned balusters and panelling. A garden wall to the south-west connects to Shrewsbury House, Cheyne Walk.

Local climate

The Cottage 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 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 51% 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.
