Description

Orchard House is a house, now used as an office and veterinary surgery, built around 1825. It has two storeys and is arranged around a courtyard, which is enclosed by a low wall featuring central gate piers and cast iron gates. The south front has a recessed centre with two windows, while the east wing includes a single window above a projecting porch. The south front is made of ashlar stone, while the right wing is rendered with some raised quoins. The building features a moulded eaves cornice and sash windows, with marginal glazing bar sashes on the south front and glazing bar sashes on the east side.

In the northeast corner, there is a closed porch that has an Ionic portico with an entablature on the west side and a niche on the south side. The east wing has a double span gable with three chimneys, a kneeler adorned with a plaster lion couchant, and a single window to the left. The north front of the east wing is constructed of brick and includes chamfered quoins, kneelers, and rusticated headstones, along with a later four-light bay to the right. The rear of the building features ashlar stone at the back of the central portion, which also has an Ionic portico.

Orchard House is part of a group with Nos 14 to 46 (even), including Nos 14 to 18, 26 to 34, and 42 to 46 and 44A, all of which are of local interest.
