Description

Harborough is a 18th century building with a weatherboarded exterior that conceals a timber-framed structure dating back to the 16th century or earlier. It has two storeys and features two wide windows. The building is topped with a high-pitched tiled roof that is hipped on the left side and has a compound ridge stack. On the right side, the base of the chimney is made of roughly coursed rubble masonry, which is visible beneath the weatherboarding. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, and there is a plank door. At the back, there is a 17th century lean-to that has a low sweeping profile. Inside, much of the timber framing is exposed.

Harborough receives an average of 760 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 67% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 57% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 56% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
