Description

Priscilla's Cottage, formerly known as Water Hall Cottage, is a 17th-century building that has been altered over time. Originally timber-framed, it is now mostly constructed of 18th-century red brick. The cottage is two storeys high and features two-over-one casement windows. Its roof is at two different heights and has stacks at the gable ends, covered with old tiles. The building is positioned at right angles to the road. Notably, the far end gable has a large old projecting chimney breast with tiled offsets, and there is timber-framing visible in the gable.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 61% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
