Orchard Cottage

Orchard Cottage is a house dated 1642, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and mid-20th century. The building features a combination of timber framing with painted brick and rendered infill set on a coursed limestone rubble base, as well as sections of limestone rubble. It has slate roofs and is designed in an L-plan. The main range consists of two framed bays aligned north to south, and on the north side, there is a large external ashlar chimney with tiled offsets and a pair of square stacks, featuring a frieze with the date "1642" inscribed beneath the moulded cappings.

At the north end, there is an intersecting cross-wing with three framed bays, which includes a large chimney situated between its central and west bays, topped with a tall brick ridge stack. The building is partly two storeys with an attic and partly a single storey with an attic, featuring dormers. The framing includes three panels from the sill to the wall-plate, while the cross-wing has a truncated collar and tie-beam truss with four struts at its west end, and a collar and tie-beam truss with two collars and three struts to the lower collar at its east end.

On the west front elevation, the windows are 20th-century leaded casements. The main part has two square stair lights, while the gable end of the cross-wing to the left has three ground floor two-light windows and an attic light. In the angle with the main part, there is a three-light window with a plank weathering, a two-light window, a single-light window, and a raking-top dormer with a square window. An attic light is located at the south end of the main part. The main entrance is on the north side of the cross-wing, featuring a lean-to 20th-century brick porch and a 20th-century door. Additionally, there is a 17th-century or earlier door at the rear of the main range, which is said to have come from the church. The interior has not been inspected.
