Description

The Hermitage is an early 19th-century building located on Church Road in Hanwell, W7. It is designed in the "cottage orne" style and features a stucco exterior with a thatched roof. The building includes quatrefoil and pointed arched casement windows that have ornamental glazing bars. A central French window is topped with an ogee arch. Inside, there is an octagonal hall and saloon.

Local climate

The Hermitage 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 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% 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.
