Description
Little Orchard is a house dated 1667, as indicated by the initials "EB + 1667 XC WO" and a shield with three hearts and a diagonal bar on the gable end bressumer. The building is timber framed with rendered and whitewashed infill and has a slate roof, which was probably originally thatched. It stands two storeys tall.
The entrance front features a slightly projecting gable to the left, originally designed with 4 x 3 cells and an angle brace in the left-hand corner. There is a three-light 20th-century casement window on the ground floor and a two-light similar window on the first floor, along with a V-strut in the gable. To the left, there is a range of 6 x 3 cells with small framing and an angle brace at the right-hand corner. A 20th-century glazed door is set in a 20th-century gabled porch to the right of centre, flanked by three-light 20th-century casement windows. The first floor has gabled dormers with 2-light 20th-century casements and timber-framed gables.
The right-hand gable end features timber framing with angle braces at the corners and an inscribed bressumer above, which supports a Queen-post truss and V-strut in the gable. There is also a 20th-century range to the right with simulated timber framing.
