Description
Orchard Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled stone slate roof with a deep old tile band. The house has a brick stack at the right end and a truncated ridge stack on the left. It follows a two-unit outshut plan and is two storeys high with a three-window range. The exterior includes timber lintels above a late 19th-century four-panelled door and 19th-century two- and three-light casement windows. There is a 20th-century extension on the left side. Inside, the cottage has chamfered and stopped beams, an open fireplace, and part of a post and panel partition with a moulded panel that survives to the left of the door.
