Description

Kingscombe is a two-storey, three-window house dating from the 18th century. It has a double-pile plan, meaning that rooms are arranged along a central corridor with access to both front and rear. The exterior is stuccoed over local stone, with the stone exposed at the rear. The roof is slate, with rendered chimneys. The main entrance faces south. The first floor has three sash windows with 12 panes, and no horns. On the ground floor, two similar sash windows flank a central doorway, which has an overlight with intersecting glazing. The doorway has panelled reveals and a panelled door, now set within a modern Doric porch. To the right is a lower two-storey extension, with a single six-pane sash window on each floor.

Local climate

Kingscombe sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,170 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 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 80% 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.
