Forecourt Walls And Attached Outbuilding To North Of Orchard Vale

The forecourt walls and attached outbuilding, likely built around 1730, are made of rubble with cut dressings, and the outbuilding features a roof of Lakeland slate. The low, thick wall has squat square gatepiers with attached jambs and pyramidal caps. To the right, there is an opening with re-used chamfered jambs from a 17th century or older doorway. The wall on the left returns to connect with the outbuilding, which has two square stone-surround windows, a coped left gable with moulded kneelers, and boarded doors at the rear. The rear wall connects the outbuilding to the kitchen wing of Orchard Vale and features a pair of slender rusticated gatepiers with swept and moulded caps.
