Orangery, Steps and Four Cherub Statues on Pedestals

This is an orangery dating from the early 18th century. It is a yellow brick structure with cement render detailing, set within a formal garden.

The orangery is a single-storey building with a rectangular plan. It features a vaulted undercroft with thirteen bays, each containing tall, round-arched windows. The central and end pavilions have French windows, while the remaining windows are casement windows with glazing bars. The side elevations have three bays—one is blind, one contains a casement window, and the end pavilion has a French window. A disguised double door in the north elevation allows for the movement of orange trees. The window surrounds have decorative keystones, with more ornate keystone details containing the de Grey family crest. Pilasters between the window apertures have capitals of corbeilles with roses, beneath tapering panels with carved tassels. Flanking the central doorway are a caryatid and an atlas, each with an urn and festoons above. A balustraded parapet runs along the main block, punctuated by urns, while the pavilion parapets have an ornamental crest forming a pediment. The rear elevation has a utilitarian character, with exposed brickwork and arched doorways leading to the undercroft, as well as semi-circular windows above.

Inside, the floor is tiled with a modern black and white diamond pattern, bordered with red tiles. A cast-iron pump sits near the north wall, and the west wall contains an elaborate, classical stone fireplace dating to around 1600, bearing the de Grey coat of arms.

Four early 18th-century stone statues of cherubs on pedestals stand at each corner of the steps leading up to the orangery. These were sculpted by an unknown Flemish artist, and appear to be made from a fossil marble of continental origin. The statue at the top of the steps on the south side holds an open book; the one on the north side clutches a puppy; the statue at the base of the steps on the south side holds a bird's nest; and the one on the north side carries a torch.
