Description
The Old Manse is a house dating from the 17th century, with significant additions in 1722. It is partly rendered and extended with red brick, and has a plain tiled roof. The house has two storeys and an attic, set on a plinth with a continuous projecting band and a wooden eaves cornice with decorative modillions to a hipped roof. There are two hipped dormers and a central chimney stack. The regular arrangement of windows includes five glazing bar sashes on the first floor and four on the ground floor. A central door consists of six raised and fielded panels, with a tented, leaded hood above. The date 1722 is inscribed on two heart-shaped stones at the centre of the building. A recessed two-storey wing is to the left, featuring a single glazing bar sash on each floor and a chimney stack at the end. This wing is said to contain inglenooks, stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and extends structurally behind the early 18th century facade on the right-hand side.
Local climate
The Old Manse 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.
