Description

Abercolwyn is a 2-storey house constructed of roughcast stone, featuring a modern slate roof and three plain chimneys with cornice bands. The left section of the house has a modern boarded door with a rectangular overlight and a modern multi-pane casement window to the left, set in an enlarged opening. A similar window is located in the primary first-floor opening, positioned under the eaves. The continuously-roofed section on the right has a central entrance flanked by windows on both floors, consistent with the earlier described style. The interior was not inspected during the survey.

Local climate

Abercolwyn sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,500 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 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
