Description

The Rectory is a late 19th-century rectory, originally a private house, situated in Gerrans. It is constructed of painted slatestone rubble with a hipped scantle slate roof and one surviving brick chimney on the right side wall. The building follows a two-room, double-depth plan with a central staircase and a service wing to the rear. The north front has two storeys and three windows. One window opening on the ground floor is wider than the original; the other is original with an overlight. A flat-headed porch features octagonal columns, similar to those found in nearby Portscatho. The windows are 12-paned, horned sashes. Inside, the original staircase retains octagonal newel posts, and the doors are two-panelled with raised mouldings.

Local climate

The Rectory receives an average of 900 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 67% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 5 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 2 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°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.
