Description

Windwhistle is a house built in the late 19th century or very early 20th century, reputedly designed by Guy Dawber. It features solid, slate-hung walls and a thatched roof. The building has a single range plan that is two rooms deep and stands two storeys high, with a single-storey projection at each end. The front facing the road has two windows and is dominated by a large, half-hipped dormer gable. The windows are casement style, placed irregularly and include glazing bars. To the right, there is a round-arched granite doorway with a three-quarter-round moulding.

Local climate

Windwhistle receives an average of 900 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 67% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 75% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 27 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% 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.
