Description

Nos 3 and 4 are a pair of semi-detached cottages dating from the early 19th century. They are constructed from slobbered rubble and feature a thatched roof that is hipped to the left. The right gable end has roughcast stacks, and there is a rebuilt circular stack rising from the left corner, with a similar stack at the rear. The plan consists of two cells, and the cottages are one and a half storeys high with a layout of 1:3 bays. The first floor has early 19th-century 3-light leaded iron casements, while the ground floor includes a 20th-century 3-light window to the left of a double porch. To the right, there are two 3-light casements with a single-storey stepped buttress beyond. The double Roman tiled pentice porch features semi-circular headed openings and plank doors.

Local climate

3 and 4 sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,150 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 89% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 91% 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.
