Description
Orchard House is a house that has been converted into offices, built around 1830. It features flared header bond brick with red brick dressings and a Welsh slate roof, along with brick stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and is two storeys high with a three-window range. The central bay is pedimented and includes a two-storey porch supported by Doric columns, with a cornice above a keyed stone lintel that frames a 20th-century door with a stained glass overlight. There is a similar lintel over a first-floor sash window, which is flanked by pilasters, while the other windows are also sashes. The building has a bracketed wood cornice and a hipped roof with a ridge stack. The side walls display similar details to the sashes in the front, and the left side wall has sashes that open onto a verandah. The interior was not inspected, but it is noted that the previous location of a market cross has been removed to No. 19 Church Street.
