Description
Orchard Cottage is a house that was converted into two cottages. It dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century and features a timber frame with plaster, along with 20th-century brick casing at the eaves level on the gable ends. The roof is thatched. The building has two storeys and a two-cell plan, with a range of four windows, primarily mid-20th century casements. There is a mid-20th-century door on the right side and an internal stack. Inside, the cottage has exposed framing and pointed arch doorways leading to each of the first-floor rooms.
