Description

Holms is a late 18th century building of two storeys. It has a T-shaped plan, with a rear wing extending from the main block. The front elevation features three sash windows, a pedimented projecting porch, and a ridge slate roof with rolled skews on the gables. The walls are harled and creamwashed.

Local climate

Holms 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.

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.
