Description

Claypits is a house dating from the early 18th century and around 1800. It is constructed of red and brown brick and has a plain tiled roof. The building is two storeys high and features stacks at the left end, centre right, and right end. The right end bay is a later addition, and a kneelered gable associated with the centre right stack indicates the original end wall. On the first floor, there are three glazing bar sashes, while the ground floor has two segmentally headed glazing bar sashes with a small leaded light to the left, along with a central half-glazed door set in a kneelered gabled porch. The extension to the right has one segmental glazing bar sash on each floor.

Local climate

Claypits 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.
