Description
Lythmore is an earlier to mid-19th century building that features a symmetrical, two-storey, seven-bay west-facing range. It is constructed of rubble with tooled rubble dressings. The outer bays have paired shallow segmental-headed cart bays, while the centre has three similar linked arches; the middle arch leads to an inner court, and the outer arches are blind with small inserted windows. At the wallhead, there are seven symmetrical square loft vents, and the building has an off-centre ridge stack. The roof is covered with graded Caithness slate. Inside, the floors are made of Caithness flags.
Local climate
Lythmore sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,000 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 75% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 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.
