Description
Orchard Farmhouse is a house dating from the 18th century and early 19th century, part of Robert Owen's Harmony Hall Estate. It is constructed of brick with a slate and plain tile roof. Originally built as a laundry and well pumphouse for Harmony Hall, the building is two storeys high and has four bays. To the right, there is a two-storey, three-bay laundry wing, which features a projecting porch in the left bay.
The main house has tall two-light casement windows in each bay, with a second set of two-light casements slightly to the left. Most of the windows are topped with ribbed brick arches. The building has a toothed and dentilled cornice and a stack on the left end. The right wing includes a projecting two-storey porch with double half-glazed doors, set under a rubbed brick depressed arch, with a round-headed window above. In the right bays, there are low-set two-light casements on the first floor. The cornice continues from the house onto the parapet of the lower-eaved wing, which has a hipped roof behind it. Orchard Farmhouse is a surviving building from Robert Owen's Harmony Hall.
