Description

This is a late 17th-century orangery, possibly designed by Talman. It is constructed of ashlar with rusticated quoins, and has a hipped slate roof concealed behind a parapet. The building is single-storey and sits above a basement. It is arranged with three bays on either side of a projecting central bay, which features a pediment bearing a relief of an urn within the tympanum. Replacement sash windows are tall and have bolection architraves; a central door is similarly framed and reached by a double flight of steps. An acanthus-leaved coved cornice runs around the building. A tall ashlar stack with a moulded cap is located behind the pediment. The basement has cross-mullioned windows and is vaulted. The walls are brick-lined.

It experiences an average of 40 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 77% of listed buildings. Of these, 20 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
