Description

Church Cottage is an early 19th-century house located on the north side of Minster Church Street. It is constructed of brown brick and features a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys, with boxed eaves and gables that have kneelers. There are stacks at both the left and right ends of the house. The front has a regular arrangement of windows, with three sash windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, all topped with gauged segmental heads. The central entrance door consists of six raised and fielded panels, with the top two panels being glazed. This door is framed by a moulded pilaster surround, a frieze, and a flat hood. The return and rear elevations are finished with a flint plinth and walls, and there is a single-storey extension that may have originally been a disused forge building.

Church Cottage 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.
