Description

The Royal Mews consists of a pair of terraced houses built in the early 19th century. They are constructed of yellow brick with Bath stone on the ground floor. The houses are three storeys high and each has three windows across the front, with an additional bay on the left side of No 16. Each house features a central projecting Doric porch and panelled doors. The ground and first floor windows have tripartite glazing, while the first-floor windows have segmental heads. Other windows are square-headed with gauged heads and are mostly fitted with plate glass sashes. The buildings also have a cornice and a parapet, along with spearhead area railings.

Local climate

The Royal Mews 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.
