Description
The Orangery and adjoining walls, located about 120 yards west of Hanbury Hall, were built around 1750. The structure is made of red brick in Flemish bond with ashlar dressings and features a hipped plain tiled roof behind a parapet. It has a long rectangular shape that runs roughly east to west and is a single storey high, with a moulded eaves cornice.
The main south elevation consists of nine bays, with the central three projecting forward and topped with a pediment. The windows are tall 40-pane sashes with moulded architraves and gauged flat heads. The central window opens to ground level, serving as the main entrance, while the flanking windows have a continuous sandstone sill. The pediment is adorned with a carved basket of fruit, flowers, and wreaths, and both the pediment and parapet are topped with urn and pineapple finials.
Inside, there is a moulded cornice and a quarry-tiled floor. The rear wall is flanked on each side by a brick wall with a sandstone coping, approximately 7 feet high. Each wall extends about 8 yards before turning south for an additional 6 yards.
