Description
Orchard House and Orchard Cottages are two cottages in a row located on Kilham Lane in Shipton Oliffe. Orchard House dates from the mid to late 17th century, while Orchard Cottages was built in the late 17th to early 18th century. The facades are made of coursed squared limestone rubble with large dressed quoins. Orchard House has an asbestos tile roof, while No 2 Orchard Cottages features a stone slate roof. The former stone stacks have been repaired, with one now in artificial stone and the others in brick.
Orchard House is a two-storey building with a two-windowed facade, featuring double-chamfered two-light stone-mullioned casements with horizontal glazing bars. It has a central gabled projecting porch with a trefoil-headed entrance and a multi-facetted finial. Inside the porch is a 19th-century beaded plank door within a rectangular surround. No 2 Orchard Cottages, which faces north, is also two storeys with a two-windowed facade, all flat-chamfered stone-mullioned casements. Access is provided by a 20th-century plank door within a 20th-century lean-to porch. The lean-tos at the rear of Orchard House and No 2 Orchard Cottages are not of special interest.
