Description

Place Cottage is likely a timber-framed house dating from the late 16th or 17th century, which was later refronted in the 18th or early 19th century. It is a two-storey building with three windows and three hipped dormers. The walls are of red brick with tile-hung returns. The entrance is located on the side, within a later addition. A central axial stack rises from the roof, featuring four flues. Extensions have been added to the rear and east side of the property.

Local climate

Place Cottage 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.
