Description

Kevis House is an 18th-century cottage located on the west side of Lombard Street, Petworth. It was formerly known as Virginia Cottage. The cottage is two storeys high and has two windows. It is constructed of red brick with grey brick headers, and has a tiled roof. The ground floor has two small bays with intact glazing bars in the windows. Above these are casement windows. A gabled, weather-boarded addition projects from the north end of the building above the roofline; this was likely originally a store or warehouse.

Kevis House receives an average of 750 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 71% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 63% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
