Description

Wisteria is an 18th-century cottage located on the north side of Pearson Road in Sonning. It is a single-storey building constructed of chequered brick with red dressings and features an old tile roof that is hipped to the right. The south front was originally designed with four bays, each containing two-light leaded casement windows set in segmental-headed wooden frames, complete with shutters. In the second bay from the left, there is a six-panelled door framed in moulded wood. There is a later extension added to the left side of the cottage.

Local climate

Wisteria 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 81% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 77% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
