Description
The orangery, located 75 meters south of Twyford House, dates from the mid-18th century and is constructed of brick with a brick tile coping and an old plain tile roof. It is a single-storey structure featuring three narrow bays, with a central round-headed sash window above small doors and tall 8-pane sash windows on either side, all adorned with rusticated timber architraves. The roof is hipped and has a stack on the left hip. Inside, there is 18th-century panelling, including a fireplace flanked by cupboards and a coved ceiling. The wall connecting the orangery to the house is 3 meters high, topped with brick pavior coping and supported by later buttresses. The wall extending from the orangery to the front wall is 1.5 meters high in the garden and 4 meters high along the road, also featuring brick pavior coping and measuring approximately 20 meters long. This orangery is reputedly where Benjamin Franklin wrote his autobiography.
