Description

Reiffer Park is an early 19th-century house that has seen respectful later additions and alterations. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure, with additional two-storey and single-storey extensions at the rear. The exterior is made of rubble that is heavily pointed, featuring contrasting red sandstone ashlar quoins and margins. A later stone rectangular porch with a cornice projects from the center; it has a window and a door on the left side, while the right side is blank. There are windows flanking the outer bays and in each bay on the first floor. The two-storey rear addition is designed to blend in well with the original building.

The house features 12-pane glazing patterns in its sash and case windows. It has overhanging eaves on piended roofs supported by widely spaced brackets. Coped ridge stacks are located on either side of the central bay, topped with decorative cans. The roof is covered with grey slates.

The property is also surrounded by rubble coped retaining walls.

Reiffer Park sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,360 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 96% 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 8 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.
