Description
Orchard House is a house dating from around 1800, with some alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of coursed squared rubble, with the sides rendered and an asbestos slate roof featuring raised coped verges and replacement stone gable stacks. The house has two storeys and three windows, all of which are sash windows with splayed stone heads. There is a central 20th-century gabled wooden porch that has a half-glazed door, along with a plinth and pilasters on the sides. The right side of the house has a door and a 20th-century attic light, while the left side features two 20th-century ground floor windows and a similar attic light. The interior has not been inspected.
