Description

Cauldside is an 18th-century single-storey cottage featuring an ingleneuk chimney that projects at the front. To the right, there is a modern harled extension. The cottage is adjacent to a similar but significantly altered farm cottage. The building is constructed of random whinstone rubble that has been harl-pointed, with dressings that have been renewed in concrete. The ingleneuk is made of random rubble and has a doorway inserted, with a window to the right. The structure is shouldered at the height of the first floor and at the roof level, rising to a corniced stack.

Cauldside receives an average of 930 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 71% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 66% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 13 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 88% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
