Orchard Cottage

Orchard Cottage is a late 17th-century timber-framed cottage located on the south side of Colchester Road, White Colne. The original two-bay structure faces northeast and has a roughcast rendered exterior with a thatched roof. An 18th or 19th-century single-storey extension with a hipped roof extends from the main body of the cottage. A 20th-century external stack is located at the left end, and a 20th-century single-storey extension of roughcast brick with a corrugated iron roof projects from the rear of the left end.

The cottage is one storey high with attics. The front features two 20th-century casement windows and one 18th or 19th-century two-light window with a wrought iron casement in the right extension. An eyebrow dormer contains a 20th-century casement. A plain door is set within a 20th-century four-centred arch. The right gable has a small area of weatherboarding. A wrought iron one-light casement from the 18th or early 19th century is visible on the upper storey of the left return. The cottage has jowled corner posts. Inside, there are chamfered transverse beams, a 20th-century grate in the original stack, and a 20th-century four-centred arch within the ground floor.
