Description

Orchard House is a house dating from around 1823, with a later 19th-century extension to the north. It is constructed of gault brick in a Flemish bond pattern on the front elevation, and English bond to the side and rear. The roof is parapetted and features end chimneys. The house has a double pile plan and includes a basement, two storeys, and an attic.

The front facade is symmetrical, presenting three first-floor windows, which are later four-pane hung sashes set in segmental arches. A central doorway is approached by four stone steps, and a round-headed arch frames the doorcase and fanlight, which has radial glazing bars. A two-storey porch with a hipped roof extends from the rear, incorporating a round-headed arch to a first-floor window.

The basement contains a kitchen with original pantry and storage rooms. Early 17th-century run-through panelling with a strapwork frieze and a grill formed of splat balusters is incorporated into the partition walls of a secure room in the basement. The doorway to this room also features matching panelling and coxshead hinges.
