Description

The Star Inn is a late Georgian village inn constructed of stone, with the front rendered and painted, while the rear is also rendered. It features a shallow pitch Welsh slate roof and wide and narrow rendered end stacks. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window range of 8/8 pane sashes set in deep reveals, which have raised and painted gabled surrounds. The central doorway is topped with a moulded hood supported by large, elaborately carved brackets, and there are raised pilasters at the ends. Additional sash windows are present at the rear. The interior has been refurbished.

Local climate

The Star Inn sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,180 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 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 32 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.
