Description

Walnut Tree House is an early 19th-century building located on the south side of King Street in Fordwich. It is two storeys tall and constructed of red brick. The roof is divided, with the west half covered in slate and the east half in tiles. The west half features one storey and attics, with windows on the ground floor. The east half has one hung sash window with glazing bars on the upper storey. The entrance has a plain doorway flanked by pilasters and topped with a projecting cornice. The side elevation includes one window above a two-light window set in a wood pilastered surround with a cornice, likely indicating a former shop window.

Local climate

Walnut Tree House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 52% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
