Description

Nos. 2 and 3 Church Hill are a pair of cottages built in the 17th century, with a date of 1683 marked in blue headers, and further alterations made in the 18th century. The cottages are constructed from flint and red brick, topped with a plain tile roof. They are one storey tall with an attic and represent two different building periods.

On the left side, there is a flint and brick plinth, English bond brickwork, and a plat band. The right side lacks a plinth and features Flemish bond brickwork along with a plat band. The gabled roof includes three gabled dormers, and there is a stack at the left end, positioned towards the rear right. The cottages have an irregular arrangement of three windows, which are 20th-century wood casements, with a segment-headed window on the right. There are two doors with moulded surrounds and flat hoods supported by brackets; the right door has six fielded panels and a side light in a segment-headed opening. A blocked doorway is located at the extreme left.

2 and 3, Church Hill receives an average of 740 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 74% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 66% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 81% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 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.
