Description

Orchard House is a late 18th/early 19th century house located on the west side of Main Street, St Bees. The house is constructed of pebble-dashed rubble with parallel roofs, rendered end chimneys, graduated slate to the front, and Welsh slate to the rear. A cast-iron moulded gutter is supported by brackets. The symmetrical two-storey, three-bay façade features a central part-glazed door set within a stone surround. There are two 16-pane sash windows in stone surrounds to each floor.

Local climate

Orchard House sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,580 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 86% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 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.
