Description
Orchard House is a house dating from around 1830, possibly incorporating an earlier structure. It is built of ashlar stone and has a Welsh slate roof, designed in the Tudor style. The house has two storeys and features three bays, along with a single-storey, one-bay wing to the left.
At the center, there is a stone porch with a Tudor-arched doorway that is topped with a hoodmould, cornice, and blocking course. The inner doorway includes an elliptical fanlight with Gothick tracery. The windows are two-light mullioned types with double-chamfered surrounds, also under hoodmoulds; the ground floor windows have two-pane sashes per light, while the upper floor features twelve-pane sashes. The roof is gabled with ridged coping and kneelers, and it has tall corniced stacks at the ends.
