Description

March House is a pair of houses built around 1800, located on the north-west side of Market Hill in West Cowes. The buildings are constructed of grey headers with red brick window dressings, quoins, and vertical courses, topped with a mansarded tiled roof. They are two storeys high with attics, featuring two windows and two dormers. The sash windows, which still have their glazing bars intact, enhance the façade. No 15 includes a bay window on the first floor and has a painted stringcourse and a parapet. The doorcases are framed with moulded architrave surrounds, with No 15 retaining its pediment and both houses having six-panelled doors.

March House receives an average of 800 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 54% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 7 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 3 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.
