Description

Kearsney Abbey is a building dating from 1821, designed by J M Fector. It is the only remaining wing of what was once a larger mansion, as part of the structure has been demolished. The building is in an early 19th-century Gothic style and was formerly a baronial hall. It has one storey and features a rendered front elevation that is painted. The roof includes a slated belvedere and is topped with a crenellated parapet. There are buttresses supporting the structure, and it has four long mullioned and transomed windows, each with hood moulding above.

It experiences an average of 8 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 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.
