Description
The former orangery, now used as a summerhouse, is located to the northwest of Lyneham House and dates from the early 18th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with flared headers and features a hipped slate roof with moulded wooden eaves. The building is one storey high with an attic and has a layout of 2:1:2 bays. It includes round arched openings with glazed doors, with the central opening being larger and fitted with double doors. A plat band runs above these openings, and there are three hipped dormers with moulded cornices. At the rear, a central gable incorporates a large brick chimney stack and has steps leading to a loft door. A drawing dated 1716 by Edmund Prideaux, which shows the orangery and the formal gardens in front, is preserved in a photograph at Prideaux Place, Cornwall.
