Description

The Western Telegraph is a house built around 1848-1850, featuring painted roughcast walls and a hipped roof designed to resemble slate, sloping to the south. It is two stories high and has a three-window range, with 16-pane sash windows set in thin stucco surrounds. The central door is topped with an overlight and framed by a moulded architrave. The left window on the ground floor has been replaced by a plate glass fixed light. The south wall is blank. Old photographs indicate that there was a tall stack at the south end of the building.

Western Telegraph sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,160 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 89% 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 3 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 99% of listed buildings. Of these, 1 follows 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.
