Description

York House is an early 19th-century building located on the south side of Clapham Common. It stands three storeys high with an attic and features three windows. The exterior is constructed of stock brick, adorned with a stucco dentil cornice and a blocking course, and topped with a slated mansard roof that includes two round-headed dormers. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are set beneath gauged, flat brick arches. On the ground floor, there is a wide projecting canted bay on the left, featuring a stucco frieze and a parapet. To the right, there is an early 20th-century four-panel door with a low oblong fanlight, which is sheltered by a cornice hood supported by heavy brackets.

Local climate

York 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.
