Description

The orangery at Pythouse, dating from around 1800, is a single-storey structure built from limestone ashlar. It features a flat glazed and asphalt roof and consists of five bays. The central entrance has double French windows topped with a fanlight, flanked by two round-arched 25-pane sash windows. The building is adorned with composite pilasters, a frieze, a dentilled cornice, and a central pediment that includes an urn finial and blocking courses. The returns of the orangery are windowless, and the rear is built into a bank. Inside, the floors are made of flagstone.
