Description

The Hermitage is a house built around 1818, with an extension added in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of white stock brick and features a thatched roof, with the extension made of brick and flint and a plain tiled roof. The building has one storey and an attic, which includes three semi-dormers fitted with glazing bar sashes. There are stacks located at the rear center and rear right of the house. On the ground floor, there are two four-light mullioned windows and a central door with raised and fielded panels set in a gabled porch. To the right, there is a two-storey wing that has a gable end facing the road, with a stack at the rear and segmentally headed four-light mullioned windows on each floor.

Local climate

The Hermitage 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 87% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 67% of listed buildings.

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.

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.
