Description

Craig House is a classical mansion built around 1830-1840. It features an impressive Ionic portico and a double flight of curved entrance steps. The building has two storeys, a raised basement, and small pedimented attic dormers. The facade has a symmetrical arrangement of sash windows, with the center slightly recessed and end pavilions that have raised parapets or entablatures. A continuous projecting cornice runs along the top, and the hipped slate roof is complemented by symmetrically arranged chimneys. On one side, there is a large glazed winter garden.

Local climate

Craig House sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,450 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 74% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
