Description

Highfield is a villa built around the 1850s, likely before 1866. It features a plastered exterior and a slate roof, with stacks that have rendered shafts and cornices. The main block has a deep rectangular plan and a service wing at the rear. The building is two storeys high and has a three-window south front, which includes plate glass sash windows with louvred shutters and ground floor windows that have cornices. The east side has a pilastered porch and an unfortunate 20th-century plate-glass window on the ground floor to the right. The interior has not been inspected but may still have interesting features. The villa was shown as Bella Vista on the first edition of the 1866 Ordnance Survey map.

Local climate

Highfield receives an average of 870 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 64% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 83% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 11 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% 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.

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.
