Description

The Sycamores is an 18th-century house that was altered in the 19th century. The main façade faces south towards the River Thames. It is a brick building of three bays, although the outer bays feature full-height canted windows of the late 19th century which do not harmonise with the original design. The central doorway likely dates back to the 18th century and has six fielded panels and a decorative fanlight above. A stone porch with Ionic columns has been added to the front. The roof is covered in slate, with a half-hipped section. The western side of the house acts as a second front, divided into two sections, suggesting that the northern part may have been built later. The house has five windows with glazing bars. A verandah is present on the ground floor to the right, and a modern entrance in a suitable style is located on the left. The slate roof continues to the western side, with the northern section being half hipped.

The Sycamores sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 84% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 69% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
