Description
The Orangery and adjoining garden wall date from the mid-18th century, with later 20th-century alterations. The orangery, now used as a house, is constructed of brick with stone dressings and has a hipped slate roof concealed behind a parapet. It is a single-story rectangular building with a four-bay plan. The window and door openings have round heads and rusticated lintels. Two 20th-century multi-paned windows are present, along with 20th-century multi-paned doors in the second and fourth bays. A single-story addition from the 20th century projects to the left, incorporating 20th-century round-headed windows on the front elevation and at the angle with the main body of the orangery. A garden wall adjoins the right end of the orangery and extends southwest for approximately 80 yards, standing roughly 12 feet high. Pilaster buttresses are spaced at 10-yard intervals along the wall, which terminates in a square pier topped with a pyramidal capping. A doorway with a cambered head is located about 10 yards from the orangery. The Orangery and adjoining garden wall are remnants of the original 18th-century garden layout and maintain a significant visual connection with the main south-east elevation of Brookfield House. They are included for their group value.
