Description

The Welches consist of two early to mid-18th century houses, now used as separate dwellings. Each house is two storeys high with an attic, and has a single window facing the front. They are characterized by their wide proportions. The roofs are steeply pitched and hipped, with sprocketed eaves that have been renewed with modern tiles. Two flat dormers are present. The first floor is rendered, while the ground floor is clad in weatherboarding. The windows are sash windows, one of which dates to the 18th century, and are set within exposed moulded frames. A modern two-storey extension, set back from the main building, is located to the north of No. 2.

Local climate

The Welches 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 98% 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 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
