Description
Silver Stream is a two-storey building featuring whitewashed rubble walls and a thatched roof, which has eyebrows over the upper windows. The building includes restored brick stacks and end gables with coping. The north-east elevation has two window bays with modern diamond leaded casements. The central door, which was plain at the time of listing in 1977, has since been replaced with a window. There is a late 20th-century glazed porch attached to the north-east corner of the cottage.
On the south-east end wall, there is a flat-arched chamfered and mullioned stone window on the ground floor to the left, and a blocked window opening with trefoil cusping dating from around the 16th century on the first floor. To the right, there is a large external chimney breast. The south-west elevation features later extensions that clasp the north-west corner of the cottage, along with two upper floor casement windows that have cambered heads.
The interior was not inspected during the resurvey, but the previous listing description noted that the ground floor largely dates from the 18th or 19th century.
Local climate
Silver Stream sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,110 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 90% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 21 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 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.
