Orchard House

Orchard House is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of brick, with a whitewashed exterior and pantiled roofs. The house has a baffle entry and a rear wing, and is arranged over one storey and attics, encompassing three rooms. A flight of four steps leads to the main door, which is of six bolection-moulded panels, set within a doorcase featuring pilasters that support a shallow cornice. Flanking the door are four-pane sash windows, each set beneath a segmental brick arch. To the right is an early 19th-century shop front; the central portion has a twelve-pane window where a door previously stood, and is topped by a fanlight with radial glazing. This is flanked by two 25-pane bow windows, all contained within fluted architraves. The attic space is defined by swept dormers with casements containing glazing bars. A dentilled brick eaves cornice runs around the building, and end and axial stacks are present, featuring bands and stepped cornices. The raised gables have tumbled-in brickwork to their kneelers.
