Description

Seymer Place is a building constructed around 1830 by William Morton Pitt, likely intended as a lodging house. It serves as the end of the terrace and was designed to complement it. The building features rendered walls and a slate roof, standing four storeys high with projecting pilasters at each end of the facade. It has double-hung sash windows with glazing bars. The entrance is located in the side (south) wall, and the doorway is similar in detail to those of the adjacent buildings at numbers 2, 3, and 4, although it appears to have originally had a pedimented head that is now missing.

Local climate

Seymer Place 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.
