Description

Downside is a two-storey, one-bay building with a stone front dating to the late 18th or early 19th century, although it likely incorporates an earlier structure. It has a pantile roof. The ground floor features a good three-light bowed sash window with pilaster strips separating the lights. A battened door is set within a boxed hood. The building forms part of a group of listed buildings on both the north and south sides of Greenhill, extending from Newell Cottage to Belmont on the north side, and from Delta to the premises occupied by Godden and Curtis on the south side.

Local climate

Downside receives an average of 840 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 57% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 61% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
