Description

Fairacres is a block of 64 flats built in 1936 by Minoprio and Spencely. The building was designed in a modern style but employs traditional construction methods, featuring solid brick walls chosen for their noise-insulating properties. It comprises eight blocks arranged in a semi-elliptical plan, numbered 1 to 64. The projecting end bays are characterised by curved corners. Each block has a tapering entrance hall leading to a circular stair located at the angle between the blocks. Brick balconies link the blocks at the upper levels. The windows are metal casements with plate glass. Later alterations have been made to the entrances, which now feature modern doors with mosaic tile surrounds. Glazed canopies are positioned over each entrance and set of balconies.

Local climate

Fairacres 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.
