Description

Lavinia Cottage, dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, is a pair of two-storey cottages constructed of cob and stone, with thatched roofs. The cottages feature two- and three-light wooden casement windows. The thatch is “eyebrowed” over some of the first-floor windows, creating a slightly curved appearance. They have plain cottage doors.

Lavinia Cottage receives an average of 780 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 61% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 73% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 80% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 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.
