Description

Orchard House is an early 18th-century house with a later 18th-century addition to the rear. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with a mid-19th century Welsh slate roof and brick stacks. The original part of the house follows a two-unit plan, with a three-window front. The facade features mid-19th century stone lintels above a 20th-century central door and mid-19th century eight-pane sash windows. There is a lunette with an opening casement above the doorway, where a window was formerly blocked. The roof is gabled, with gable-end stacks. Flat stone arches are above two 20th-century windows to the sides, and horned sashes are to the rear. A gabled, one-and-a-half-storey extension is built onto the rear-right wall, also of coursed limestone rubble with a Welsh slate roof. This extension has a three-window range, featuring a mid-19th century four-panelled door with flanking lights under a gabled mid-19th century porch with brackets. Late 19th-century two- and three-light casements sit under timber lintels; a 18th-century ridge stack is also present. The interior has not been inspected, but is likely to be of interest.
