Description
The Orangery is an 18th-century pre-Palmerston structure located in the Broadlands Estate. It is designed as a rectangular block featuring five tall sash windows along the long south side. A western portico was added in 1769 by Capability Brown, and the building was extended four bays eastward in 1788 by Holland, with the eastern section being top-glazed by W. E. Nesfield in 1875. The walls are made of yellow brick and include rubbed flat arches, as well as a stone eaves band with a fascia that has flutes and circles above a moulding. The full-height sashes enhance the overall design. The portico features a central niche flanked by pedimented doorways and is supported by four Ionic columns, with the outer columns coupled with square columns at the corners. Above this is a modillion entablature and a pediment. The eastern section concludes with a flat plain gable, which serves as a backdrop for a wide fluted urn on a garlanded plinth, with tall windows positioned below the eaves level.
