Description
The Dove House is a former dovecote that has been converted into a dwelling. It dates from the 17th century and features a tower-like structure that is octagonal in shape. The building is constructed of brick with lighter red quoins, a plinth, and a moulded brick cornice string, topped with an old tile roof. On three floors, there are irregular 19th-century two-light casement windows that have been inserted. There is a one-storey wing on the north side, connected by a small link, which is not considered of special interest.
Local climate
The Dove House 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 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 89% 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.
