Description

The Old Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a roof made of pantile and Collyweston slate. The building originally had a three-unit plan and stands two storeys high. The front facade includes a four-window range on the first floor and a three-window range on the ground floor, both featuring 19th-century casement windows set beneath wooden lintels. There is a 20th-century door located to the right of the centre, also under a wooden lintel. The farmhouse has brick stacks at the ridge and at the ends. An outbuilding attached to the right has been converted into a 20th-century garage. Although the interior was not inspected, it is noted to have remnants of an open fireplace.

The Old Farmhouse sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 94% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 56% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
