Description

Orchard Guest House is a house dating from around 1800, which incorporates some earlier fabric and underwent alterations in the mid-19th century. The front is made of squared tooled stone, while the left return and rear are constructed from rubble. It features tooled dressings and a Welsh slate roof, with one stack that has been rebuilt in brick and rendered. The building is a rectangular block with a shorter parallel range at the rear.

The front elevation has three storeys and five bays, which are slightly irregular. The right-of-centre entrance consists of a six-panel door set in a 19th-century stop-chamfered surround with a moulded cornice. To the far left, there is a boarded door in a raised stone surround. Between these doors is a late 19th-century bay window with paired four-pane sashes, while the other windows are similar but set in raised stone surrounds. The eaves feature a cornice, and the gables are coped. There are stepped-and-banded stacks at both ends. The lower part of the left return reveals rubble from an earlier building. The rear elevation displays various sash windows, including an 18-pane stair window.

Inside, the entrance lobby has a late 19th-century half-glazed door with coloured margins. The lounge, located at the east end of the ground floor, features a floral plaster cornice. The entrance hall, stairwell, and passageways on the upper floors have cornices made of square panels with egg-and-dart ornamentation. There is a full-height dog-leg stair with stick balusters and a moulded ramped handrail. The interior also includes six-panel doors, some of which have fielded panels, along with panelled shutters.

The rear wings of the building are largely from the mid-19th century and are not considered to be of special interest.
