Description
The Leacon is a house built in the late 18th century. It has a timber frame and is weather boarded, with tile hanging on the red brick base of the return and rear elevations. The roof is plain tiled and features a very tall hipped design with stacks at the center and on the left end. The building has a regular arrangement of windows, with two glazing bar sashes on each floor. On the first floor, there is a central round-headed window, and on the ground floor, a central door made of six raised and fielded panels, with the top two panels being glazed, is topped by a flat hood.
Local climate
The Leacon 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 greater than that of 52% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
