Description

The Old House is an early 19th-century building located on Rectory Lane in Foots Cray. It stands two storeys high with an attic and features four windows. The two end bays project slightly, while the two central windows are set lower than the others and are framed by relieving arches; the glazing bars remain intact. The doorway is offset from the centre and is adorned with pilasters and a pediment. The exterior is finished in stucco, and it has wide eaves supported by paired brackets. The roof is hipped and covered with slate, featuring two plain dormers.

Local climate

The Old House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 59% 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.
