Description

Oakridge is a detached cottage built in the early 18th century, with an extension added to the north in the 19th century. The cottage features rubble stone walls and a stone slate roof, with stone stacks—one at the end and another closer to the center. It is one storey high with an attic. The original section includes a gabled porch with a ledged door. On the ground floor, there are two casement windows with glazing bars. The attic has three gabled dormers, each with similar casements. The later extension on the left end has one hipped dormer with matching casements.

Local climate

Oakridge receives an average of 820 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 51% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 84% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 7 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 3 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.
