Description

This is a two-storey office building with a whitewashed rectangular shape, which transitions to a single storey on the south-east side. The lower storey is constructed of stone and features a single opening with an iron lintel. The upper storey is entirely brick and displays three phases of construction. The windows are adorned with segmental brick arches and brick sills. The roof is covered with slate, hipped at the north-east end, and includes ridge tiles along with two red brick chimneys.

Inside, the corridor that connects the offices has a ceramic tiled floor, although the offices themselves were not accessible for viewing.

Local climate

Office sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,040 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 75% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 48 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 89% of listed buildings. Of these, 24 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.
