Description

Little Orchard is a building that likely dates from the late 17th century. It is constructed of painted rubble and has a tiled roof. Originally, the building consisted of two rooms with a cross passage. It stands two storeys high and features two windows. A later addition has been made at the north end. The building retains three three-light ovolo moulded mullion windows and has two large buttresses on the west side. Additionally, there is a later stone gabled porch on the south gable.
