Description

Johnstonehall is a building dating from around 1800 that consists of cottages converted around 1970 into a single house. It features stacks between the ranges and has a modern tile roof. The building is single storey and has an H-plan layout, with symmetrical and nearly identical long elevations. Each elevation has a 3-bay center and shallow full-height flanking ranges with pedimented gables. The structure is rubble-built with ashlar dressings and is painted with contrasting margins.

Both long elevations include a wide central segmental-arched panel that originally enclosed a door; the western panel has been converted into a window, while the eastern door is now modern. The windows have raised lintels and modern glazing. The pedimented bays are accentuated with clasping pilaster strips, and the building features a base course, eaves course, and a corniced axial originally with a central door.

Local climate

Johnstonehall sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,170 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% 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 54 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 29 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.
