Description
The orangery, likely built around 1911 by Romaine Walker, is located approximately 300 meters north-north-east of Buckland House. It features a façade made of limestone ashlar with coursed limestone rubble on the sides and rear. The building is one storey high with a seven-bay façade, which is enhanced by Doric columns supporting the three central open bays and engaged Doric columns on the curved walls and end bays, which include niches. A moulded cornice runs along the top, and the structure has a flat roof. The two-bay side walls, also articulated by Doric columns, have stone lintels above sash windows and a six-panelled door to the left. The interior has not been inspected. Attached to the rear left corner is a wall made of coursed limestone rubble, which continues around to enclose the front. At the far end of this wall is a mid-18th century urn with gadrooned decoration. The orangery is included for its group value.
