Description

Orchard House is a detached house dating from the late 17th to early 18th century. It is constructed of coursed, squared, and dressed limestone in alternating bands of orange and cream-coloured stone, with dressed stone quoins. The roof is covered in stone slates, with artificial stone slates to the rear extension. The house has ashlar stacks and a 'T'-shaped plan.

The two-storey and attic building has a symmetrical three-windowed front facade. It is lit by 2 and 3-light, double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement windows, each with a stopped hood. Three 2-light dormers with leaded roofs and sides are set into the roof. Stone-mullioned casements are also found at the rear and to the gable ends. The central doorway is from the 19th century, featuring six panels, within a flat-chamfered basket-headed dressed stone surround, with a keystone, imposts and a stopped hood. The roof has saddleback coping with moulded kneelers. Axial stacks are placed symmetrically towards the centre of the ridge, featuring moulded cappings and skirtings. The interior has not been inspected.
