Orchard Farmhouse

Orchard Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 17th century, which was extended and altered in the early 20th century by A N Prentice. It is constructed of limestone rubble and features a stone slate roof. The building consists of a main range with three bays and a gabled cross-wing on the right (west). It has two storeys with an attic. The windows are rebated and chamfered with mullions, most of which have hoods.

The cross-wing includes a five-light window on the ground floor, a four-light window on the first floor, and a two-light attic window. The left-hand return wall of the cross-wing has a narrow two-storey gabled projection with a one-light window featuring a Tudor-arched head on each floor. The two left-hand bays of the main range, possibly a later addition, have two-light windows and one attic dormer. The right-hand bay contains a five-light window on the ground floor and a four-light window above, partly within a gable. To the left of this bay is a small one-light window above the doorway, which is moulded with a Tudor-arched head and a hood with lozenge stops.

A chimney on the left-hand gable, which is coped, features a moulded cornice. Other chimneys, aligned with the doorway and to the left of the cross-wing, have diagonal shafts, lozenge friezes, and dentilled cornices. To the left of the farmhouse are early 20th-century additions that are one storey high. Set back immediately to the left is a range with four mullioned windows and an attic lit by two flat-headed dormers. Further left, there is another range with two mullioned windows. At right angles to the right is a former barn that has been converted to form part of the house, including a music room designed by Prentice. This barn features mullioned windows, and its upper storey is illuminated by two gabled windows facing east. Below the northern gable is a five-light window with two transoms. The south gable wall has a sundial plaque dated "1915".
