Orchard Farmhouse

Orchard Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century. It is timber framed and completely encased in 19th-century red brick, with a pantiled roof that features black tiles on the front slope adorned with six ornamental lozenges in pink tiles. The building has two storeys and a three-cell form. There are three windows with mid-20th-century large-paned casements set under cambered arches. The entrance is a lobby type with a gabled porch and a six-panel door, where the upper two panels are glazed. There is a heavy internal stack and a gable end stack on the left side.

Inside, the farmhouse boasts a very fine fully exposed frame with some closely spaced studwork. The ground floor features exposed chamfered joists throughout and two original mullioned windows, which are now blocked, in the parlour. The hall is divided by a late 17th-century panelled screen that is partly concealed. There is a newel staircase, and on the first floor, there is another blocked mullioned window along with original floorboarding.
