Description
High Orchards is a detached house located in Corscombe, dating from the 17th century and 19th century. It features rubble-stone walls and a plain tile roof, with three stacks: a brick stack on the left, a rendered stack in the center, and another brick stack on the right. The house is two storeys high and has four windows on the front, which include three-light stone mullions with ovolos and labels on the ground floor. The right-hand side has three-light wooden casements with lead lights. The front door, situated approximately at the center, is made of wood with recessed panels and dates from the 20th century.
Inside, the house has mid-chamfered ceiling beams with filleted stops, wide plank-and-muntin partitioning featuring straight-chamfered and beaded moulding, and a chamfered wooden plinth. There is a blocked Tudor-arch doorway that dates back to around 1600. The west room contains a fireplace with straight-chamfered stone jambs and a cambered wooden lintel above it.
