Description

Fancys Cottage is a detached cottage, likely originally two cottages, probably dating from the early 19th century. It has colourwashed brick walls and a thatched roof, with brick stacks at both ends and in the centre. The cottage is two storeys high. A ledged door, protected by an open thatched porch, and a stable door, both with glass panels, are at ground level. Ground floor windows include one 20th-century casement and one curved bay window with casements. The first floor has three casement windows, the centre one with a glazing bar.

Fancys Cottage receives an average of 770 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 64% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 75% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 9 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 91% 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.
