Description
Friendly Hall is an 18th-century front attached to a probable 17th-century building. The building has two storeys and a hipped tiled roof with a moulded eaves cornice and a stringcourse. The front is now rendered with a stuccoed extension on the east side, and features five sash windows with intact glazing bars on the first floor. A glass conservatory occupies the centre of the ground floor. A simple doorcase is present, and a brick chimneystack on the west wall has a tumbling-in. A pair of red brick gate piers surmounted by stone cornices and ball finials flank the entrance to the garden, situated at the south-west corner of the house.
Local climate
Friendly Hall 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.
