Description
The orangery at Tyntesfield Park, dated 1897, is a Grade II* listed building. It is constructed of ashlar and red brick with a glazed hipped roof. The structure has a rectangular plan with seven bays and entrances located at the center of both the west and east fronts.
The orangery is a single storey and features seven-bay fronts on the west and east sides, along with three-bay sides on the north and south. It showcases a Classical style, highlighted by Ionic giant half-columns and rusticated corner pilasters, topped with an entablature that projects over the columns and pilasters. The center bay of the west front protrudes as a portico, featuring pairs of giant engaged columns and a broken pediment with a small oculus. Large round-headed windows with Gibbs surrounds and keystones are situated between the columns, although these windows have been replaced with 20th-century galvanised steel window frames, and some architectural details are missing.
Inside, the orangery contains staging. This building is a rare example of a late Victorian orangery designed in the Classical style.
