Description

Cafe Cwrt is a building constructed from roughly coursed rubble, topped with a recent slate roof and featuring end wall stacks. The doorway is located to the left of the center, with three upper windows aligned above the entrance and its flanking windows. All windows are currently 2-pane sashes, although they were originally 12-pane sashes, and all openings have rough stone lintels. The profiles of the earlier roof line can still be seen in the gable walls.

Inside, there is a single small room on either side of the central entrance and stair hall. Each room has roughly chamfered axial beams, but there are few early features remaining. A staircase was inserted, likely in the early 19th century, and has since been reconstructed. It is also possible that the building originally had a staircase next to the principal fireplace.

Local climate

Cafe Cwrt sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,550 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 79% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 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.

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.
