Description

Havisham House is a two-storey house built in 1911-12 by Baillie Scott and originally named ‘Michaels’. It is L-shaped in plan and constructed of flint with red brick window dressings and quoins. The roof is tiled. The round entrance front features three gables, two plain and one curved at the end of the L wing. Two clustered brick chimney stacks are present. The first floor has some areas of pseudo timber framing and plaster. The windows have mullions. A round-headed door is set within a brick surround.

Local climate

Havisham House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 59% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 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.
