Description

Aberceri is a two-storey building constructed in 1827, featuring a colour-washed stucco exterior and a slate hipped roof with stuccoed end stacks. The eaves are supported by paired brackets. The front of the building has three windows, with a 4-pane sash window in the center of the first floor, adorned with a later 19th-century cornice on console brackets. On either side of this central window are two-storey canted bays, each with a later 19th-century 2-4-2 pane configuration.

The entrance features an early 19th-century four-panel door topped by a radiating bar fanlight, set within a columned porch. This porch is flanked by two 20th-century cast Roman Doric columns that replicate the original timber columns, along with timber pilaster responds and a cornice. To the sides, there are lean-to two-storey wings, each with a single window and 12-pane sashes. To the right of the right wing is a two-storey hipped addition built around 1850-1860, which has a one-window front. Additionally, there is a single-storey outbuilding in an L-plan layout located beyond the main structure. The rear of the building features an arched stair light.

Inside, the building retains fine early 19th-century details, including 6-panel doors, simple cornices, and a central hall that leads to an open-well stair with turned balusters and newels. The first-floor landing also has 6-panel doors, and the door leading to the room in the west wing is heavily plated in iron, possibly added by Forde Hughes.

Local climate

Aberceri sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,170 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 91% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 75% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
