Description
Orchard Cottage and Orchard Farm are a row of two houses dating from the early to mid-17th century. They are constructed of random rubble limestone with concrete block rebuilt chimneys and feature a stone slate roof. The buildings are two-storey, and a 20th-century addition at the southeast corner is not of special interest.
On the east side, the facade is irregular with various gables. Orchard Farm has a full central gable with a restored two-light mullioned casement window and a three-light window below. To the left, there is a small half gable with a 20th-century casement window. To the right, a gabled roof dormer has a 20th-century casement, and below it is a three-light ground floor casement. Orchard Cottage, on the right, features a full gable with a casement window and timber lintel, along with a timber casement window below. The central doorway has a 20th-century door and timber lintel, with an eaves-mounted roof dormer above. Ridge-mounted chimneys are present on both buildings.
On the west side, there is a gable to Orchard Cottage to the right of an outshut, and Orchard Farm has 20th-century restored mullioned windows. The interiors have not been inspected.
