Description

Temple House dates to around 1830. It is a two-storey building constructed of stock brick, with a hipped slate roof. The front elevation features three sash windows with intact glazing bars and decorative keystones. A porch is supported by Doric columns, and it has a doorcase with a semi-circular fanlight. An L-shaped wing was added later to the north-west side of the original structure.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 69% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
