Description

Gwalia is a paired mid-19th century building, not shown on the 1834 survey map, featuring late Georgian architectural style. It has a rendered three-storey front with a cill band and a double pile structure, topped with a slate roof and projecting eaves. The building includes small-pane sash glazing, with two windows on the second floor that are higher and have pitched dormer roofs. There are two-storey bay windows with cornices and later glazing at the shop fronts. The doorways are adorned with bracketed hoods, and there is a four-panel door leading to Manchester House.

Local climate

Gwalia sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,250 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 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.
