Description

The Bath House is a disused cottage that was formerly a bath house, built before 1793 as part of Repton's landscape scheme over a large spring. It features dressed stone, a tiled roof, a parapet, and a stone chimney at the rear, with a painted wood cornice at the front. The west front is one storey high with a pedimented center above a blocked door that has a quatrefoil in a pointed arch, flanked by two blocked pointed windows. Each recessed wing on either side also has smaller blocked windows. The east side has a two-storey front with a projecting enclosure that has battlemented rubblestone walls and two lancet openings in the east wall. There is a modern wing on the south side. Inside, at a low level, there is a large pool that is traditionally ascribed to Roman times.

Local climate

The Bath House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 86% 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 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 56% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
