Description
Birtlebog is an earlier 19th-century group of two single-storey, three-bay cottages with flanking wings, arranged in a U-shaped plan. The cottages are constructed of painted rubble with painted dressings. The cottages have a central doorway to each, and sash windows. A modern wooden porch is located on the right-hand cottage. The east wing features a large rectangular opening and a single door, while the west wing has narrow, vertical "arrow-slit" ventilators. Access to the rear is gained via a doorway located in a modern shed situated in the re-entrant angle. The roofs are covered with slate. A circular path and a central iron wheel, remnants of a former horse-powered mechanism, are situated near the south-east corner.
Local climate
Birtlebog sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,380 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 94% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 41 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 79% of listed buildings. Of these, 21 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.
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.
