Description

Soar is a 2-storey house with 2 windows, built from whitened rubble stone and topped with a slate roof featuring brick stacks. The openings on the lower storey have cambered heads with stone vousoirs. The windows on this level are margin-lit sashes, positioned beside a half-glazed corrugated iron door. The upper storey is fitted with small-pane pivoting windows located beneath the eaves. At the back, there is a continuous outshut, and a corrugated iron lean-to is attached to the left gable end.

Soar sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,150 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 93% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 82% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
