Description

Farningham House is an early 18th-century building on the north-east side of Farningham High Street. It is constructed of red brick with a tiled roof, featuring two hipped dormers and a panelled parapet flanked by two stone urns. The house has five windows with restored glazing bars of eight panes, and a stringcourse. The main entrance is set within a doorcase with a moulded architrave surround, a projecting cornice supported by console brackets, and a six-panelled door of moulded and fielded panels. A recessed L-wing was added to the north-west in the 19th century.

Local climate

Farningham House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
