Description

Park Side is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century. It features roughcast walls beneath a graduated greenslate roof, which is complemented by banded chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has six bays. An off-centre top-glazed door is set within a chamfered stone surround. The windows are casements with raised painted stone surrounds. Notably, the larger window in the right bay may suggest that this part of the house is an extension.

Local climate

Park Side sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,250 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 34 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.
