Description
Sherwell is a late 18th or early 19th century building, one of a pair with number 1 Dartmouth Grove (Lydia House). It was built in a style associated with Michael Searles. The building is of stucco construction and has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, set within a pedimented central block of two windows. A two-window north wing abuts the central block and has two storeys and a basement, under a half-pediment. The roof is slated, with dentil cornices and pediments. An oval window is set within the central pediment. The recessed sash windows have been replaced but retain glazing bars; reveals are plain. A shallow, three-window canted bay with a cornice and balustraded parapet is located at the ground floor centre, with blank windows on the axis. The entrance is on the return, but the main façade, as described, faces Heath.
Local climate
Sherwell 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 96% 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 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 52% 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.
