Description
Quaker's Orchard is a house that was originally a Quaker's residence. It dates from the 17th century at the rear right, with an 18th-century front and 20th-century extensions to the left. The building is timber framed and features sandstone rubble cladding, brick dressings at the rear right, a red brick front, and hipped roofs covered with plain tiles. It has two storeys and an attic, with two hipped casement dormers above a basement plinth. There is a plat band over the ground floor and a brick cornice at the base of a stone-coped parapet. The house has a rendered stack to the right and end stacks to the left and rear.
On the first floor, there are five glazing bar sash windows with gauged brick heads, and four additional windows below. The central entrance features glazed and panelled doors set in rusticated surrounds with voussoirs above. A flat-roofed porch hood and a transom light with three roundels are also present. The basement windows have cambered heads, while the rear features leaded, wood-framed casement windows.
