Orcheston House And The Wing, Orcheston House

Orcheston House and The Wing is a house with an attached service wing, which is now separately occupied. The main house dates from the 18th century, while the south range was built around 1830. The building features buff-coloured Flemish bond brickwork in the 1830s range and English garden wall bond brick in the 18th-century range, topped with a Welsh slate hipped roof and brick stacks.

The structure is L-shaped, with a three-storey, four-window entrance front. The left side consists of the three-bay 18th-century range known as The Wing, while the right side is the three-bay 1830s range. Orcheston House has a door with four fielded panels set in a round-arched opening with a fanlight, accessed via stone steps that lead up to a flat-roofed porch featuring round-arched windows. To the right, there is a blind arch that rises through all floors, and to the left, there are various sashes: a 12-pane sash in the basement, a 16-pane sash on the ground floor, and 12-pane sashes on the first and second floors, all with flat arches. The eaves are deep.

The Wing, located to the left of the main house, has a glazed door on the right and two 9-pane sashes on the left, with a two-brick plat band at the first floor. There are three 12-pane sashes on the first and second floors. The left return of The Wing features a two-storey lean-to with sashes, while the rear has casements and a half-glazed door on the ground floor, along with 12-pane sashes on the first and second floors; the second floor was added around 1830 when the main range was built.

The right return of the main house serves as the garden front, which has two storeys and a basement with four windows. The basement contains four square blind windows and is partly concealed by 20th-century steps leading to the ground floor. The first floor has four tall 15-pane sashes, while the second floor has four 9-pane sashes, all with flat arches and flanking pilasters with simple brick capitals. The eaves are deep and supported by brackets. The rear of the main range features a blind arch that rises through all floors, with two 2-light casements on the basement and first floor, and a 9-pane sash on the right side of the second floor.

The interior was not accessible during the survey in October 1984, but it is reported to contain four-panelled doors, plaster ceiling friezes, and stairs dating from around 1830 in the main range.
