Description
Orchard Farmhouse is a 17th-century house with a timber-frame structure. The west front and south end are faced in red brick, added in the early 20th century, while the rear is plastered. It has a low-pitched roof covered with pantiles and gabled ends, along with an off-centre brick chimney stack. The building has two storeys and features three windows with casements set in segmental-headed openings. There is an early 20th-century pilastered doorway located in front of the chimney stack. A later lean-to is present on the north end, and there is a wing at the rear. Inside, the farmhouse has chamfered ceiling beams.
