Description

The Sun Inn is an inn, originally combined with cottages, likely dating from the late 18th century. It has roughcast rendered walls, a slate roof, and five limewashed rubble chimneys. The building is two storeys high. A flat-roofed, single-storey porch extension of the 20th century has been added to the main entrance. There are three other entrances and garage doors to the right. The ground floor has four sash windows, one of which is a 20-paned window with fixed glazing. Above, there are seven sash windows, all with glazing bars.

Local climate

Sun Inn sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,480 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 98% 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 45 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 86% of listed buildings. Of these, 22 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.
