Description

The Grove is a two-storey building with a range of three windows facing east. It features painted uncoursed rubble masonry, with the front wall measuring about 0.8 meters thick near the old doorway and about 0.6 meters thick elsewhere. The slate roof has brick end-chimneys. The upper floor has 9-pane horned sash windows, while the lower floor has 12-pane sash windows. All windows have slightly cambered brick arches and stone sills. The pointed door arch, which is 1.2 meters wide, is equilateral and deeply chamfered, featuring sandstone outbands and jambs on limestone plinth blocks, with modern double-doors. The front elevation resembles that of Old Chimneys, particularly in its form and the retention of an old doorway.

On the north side of the rear, there is a two-storey extension with a lower eaves level, featuring late 19th-century 9-pane sash windows on the north elevation. Adjacent to this is a back-kitchen wing that was later used as a cowshed, with roof timbers that are smoke-stained from the former proximity of a large chimney, which has recently been demolished.

The interior has a three-room plan with a central winding staircase. There is also the exposed jamb of another possibly medieval doorway in the rear wall of the right-hand room.

Local climate

The Grove sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,190 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% 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 4 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 98% 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.

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.
