Description

Marine Cottage is an early 19th-century house located in Port Carlisle. It features rendered walls and a plinth with V-jointed quoins on the left side, along with a dentilled cornice. The roof is made of Welsh slate, and there is a red sandstone ashlar chimney stack. The building is two storeys high and has two bays, originally constructed as the first in a terrace, although the other houses were never built. The entrance includes a panelled door with a patterned fanlight, a pilastered surround, and a round moulded arch with a false keystone. The sash windows have glazing bars and are set in plain painted stone surrounds. There is a single-storey extension at the rear, which is not of significant interest.

Local climate

Marine Cottage sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,100 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 50 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 25 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.
