Description

The Old House is a late 18th-century building located on the north side of Mill Lane. It is constructed of grey blue brick with red brick dressings and features a brick eaves cornice and a hipped old tiled roof. The house has two storeys and three windows, all of which are sashes with glazing bars. On the ground floor, there are bowed sashes on either side of a central doorway. The doorway is framed by an architrave that includes a frieze, cornice, and pediment. The house is set in an attractive location by the river and weirs. The Old House, along with Kingfishers and Mulberry Cottage, forms a group with Pool House.

Local climate

The Old House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 81% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 77% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% 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.
