Description
The Old Orchard is a two-storey, three-bay timber-framed house, likely dating from the 17th century. It has significant 19th-century additions at both the front and rear, including dormer windows on the front elevation. The house features a slated roof and white painted brick facing on the rear and gable end walls. A single-storey conservatory runs along the front elevation, complete with a rendered parapet and base. Inside, the timber framing is visible throughout the first floor, showcasing a Queen strut truss and bracing.
