Description

4 The Row is a row of four cottages built in 1824 by the Tredegar Estate, designed in a simple Gothick style. These single-storey cottages each have two windows and are arranged as two reflected pairs. The outer cottages feature doorways at the ends, while the inner cottages have doorways in the center. A small date stone is located between the two central doorways. The windows and doorways have pointed heads with tooled stone dressings. The roof is hipped and covered with replaced pan tiles, and each cottage has roughcast ridge stacks.

The walls are pebble-dashed, and the doors and windows have been replaced in their original openings. Although not inspected during the survey, the cottages were originally designed with a two-room plan.

Local climate

4 The Row sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,000 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 77% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 56% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
