Description

The orangery and adjoining wall form part of the rear garden of Soames House, a modern Neo-Georgian house. They are remnants of Coombe Warren House, which was demolished and built by the architect George Devey in 1881. The orangery is a single-storey structure built of red brick with brick and stone pilasters and a slate roof. Its shape is concave. The garden-facing end features a "Serlian" window, topped by a small pediment supported by scrolled consoles. A brick wall extends southward, incorporating a round arched doorway between brick and stone piers, surmounted by a broken segmental pediment. Only the orangery and adjoining wall are included in this listing.
