Description
Holmleigh is probably a 17th-century timber-framed building which was faced with weatherboarding in the late 18th or early 19th century. It is two storeys high, with weatherboard cladding and a slate roof, hipped at one end. The building has sash windows retaining their original glazing bars. A simple doorcase provides access to a fielded panelled door. The interior features exposed beams and a 17th-century chimney stack with an open fireplace, still containing an iron crane.
Local climate
Holmleigh 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 greater than that of 59% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 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.
