Description

Moorside Cottage is a cottage positioned at a right angle to the road, which was originally two separate cottages. It is likely from the 18th century and underwent alterations around 1980. The exterior features roughcast over rubblestone, with a concrete double-Roman tile roof on the left side and a pantile roof on the right. The building has a three-unit plan and includes 20th-century windows and doors. The roof on the left side has been raised, and the rear left corner curves to follow the line of the road. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have been altered.

Local climate

Moorside Cottage sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,130 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 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 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.
