Orchard House

Orchard House is a house dating from the 15th century or earlier, with extensions added in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is timber-framed, with plaster rendering and a roof covered in handmade red clay tiles. The original layout comprised a two-bay hall running east to west, featuring a late 16th-century axial chimney stack at the west end. A three-bay entrance range, built in the early 18th century, was later added to the west, creating an L-shaped plan. An external chimney stack on the north side contains 16th/17th-century bricks, but appears to have been constructed in the early 18th century. A chimney stack on the south side was rebuilt in the 19th century. A single-storey extension to the north of the hall range has a lean-to roof covered in black pantiles and dates to the 20th century.

The symmetrical south elevation has a 20th-century half-glazed door with moulded architraves and a shallow hood supported on scrolled brackets. There are two double-hung sash windows with twelve panes on the ground floor, and three on the first floor, all dating to the 18th century. Some original timber framing is visible on the rear range.

The interior of the hall retains original jowled posts, tiebeams, and stop-chamfered end plates. The entrance range has original doors, architraves, and fittings.
