Description

The Inglenook is a house, probably dating from the 17th century. It is built of coursed rubble and features a thatched roof with gable ends. There is a brick stack at the left end and another brick stack located three-quarters of the way from the left gable. The building has one storey with an attic and displays asymmetric fenestration. The windows include various one, two, and three-light wooden casements, some of which have glazing bars. The ground floor openings are set under wooden lintels, while the attic windows are positioned beneath eyebrow dormers. There is a blocked entrance on the ground floor, and the left end of the range may be a later addition.

Local climate

The Inglenook receives an average of 820 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 52% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 64% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 69% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
