Description
Orchard Farm is an 18th-century timber-framed and plastered house located on the site of an earlier manor house, surrounded by a circular moat. Access to the house is via a brick arched bridge. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring a five-window range of modern casements. The central doorway is adorned with a moulded architrave and a cornice hood. The roof is tiled and has a mansard design, with end chimney stacks and three flat-headed dormers on the front.
