Description
Orchard House is a house that dates from the late 17th century on the right side, with an 18th-century addition on the left. The building is rendered, likely over brick, and features an old plain-tile roof on the right and a 20th-century plain-tile roof with a steeper slope on the left. There is a brick ridge stack at the junction of the two parts of the house and an end stack on the left. The house is two stories high and has a six-window range. To the left of center, there is a 20th-century panelled door with a flat hood. The windows are wooden cross windows, with leaded lights in those on the right. The interior has not been inspected. The 20th-century addition on the left, which is two stories and has a three-window range, is not considered to have special architectural interest.
