Description
Fordwich House is a former outbuilding, probably dating from the 17th century, which was converted into a dwelling. The original Fordwich House was destroyed by fire in 1928, and this building represents what remains. It is a timber-framed structure of two storeys, with red brick infilling between the timbers, and a tiled roof. Three gables are visible; two to the south each have a single window on both storeys, which are modern casements. The gable on the right is largely modern, rendered, and connected to a range of outbuildings.

Fordwich 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.
