Description
Orchard End House is a Grade II listed building that was formerly a vicarage until 1891. It dates from the 17th century and around 1820. The house features a timber-framed north-west wing that is rendered and colourwashed, while the south wing has been largely rebuilt in flint with freestone quoins. The building is designed in an L shape and has two storeys with half hipped slate roofs. The south front has three bays with box sash windows, a central six-panel door with a reeded surround and paterae, and a wide cornice hood supported by modillion brackets. There is a brick stack on the left side, and the side elevations are made of flint with attic sashes. The north-west rear wing has gable elevations facing the Nine Mile River, with similar box sashes on each storey and a single storey infill. Inside, the house features deep chamfered cross beams, a chinoiserie staircase balustrade, and early 19th century joinery. Attached to the south-west and north-east corners are high cob walls built on flint plinths, with pantile copings, standing about 12 feet high.
