Description
The orangery, built around 1800, was designed by John Carr for Sir Richard Van den Bempde-Johnstone. It features a front made of sandstone ashlar on a tooled sandstone plinth, with orange-red brick in English garden wall bond and sandstone dressings on the sides and rear. The building has a rectangular plan, with the plinth extending at the front to create a small terrace.
The single-storey front has five bays with round-arched openings that have moulded hoods, supported by pilaster piers with moulded imposts. Clasping pilasters are located at each end. The entrance is centrally positioned beneath a radial-glazed light, which is flanked by radial-glazed sash windows. The eaves course and cornice are moulded. Although the roof has collapsed, it is reported to have been glazed.
At the rear, there is a five-bay blind arcade featuring recessed round arches with sandstone sills, imposts, and keystones. The return fronts each have a single tall radial-glazed sash with a sandstone sill, imposts, and keystone. The orangery was disused and in a dilapidated state at the time of the last survey.
