Description
Orchard Cottage is a house that dates from the 16th to 17th century, with a one-bay extension added to the right in the 19th century. To the left, there is a 17th-century outbuilding, which may be older and is now incorporated into the house. The original bay is timber framed with whitewashed render infill and has a brick and stone plinth. The right bay is constructed of whitewashed brick. The thatched roof features 19th-century ornamental board eaves, brick coping on the right gable, and a rebuilt central brick chimney. The house is 1½ storeys high.
On the ground floor, there is a paired wooden casement window to the left and a 20th-century paired leaded casement window to the right. The first floor has three-light windows in thatch; the left window is 20th-century and leaded, while the right window is wooden with an arched top and a central leaded pane. The central 19th-century gabled porch is made of whitewashed brick and has a tiled roof, a weatherboarded gable, and a flush-panelled door.
Inside the left bay, there are some curved braces and a stop-chamfered spine beam. The former outbuilding to the left has been extensively rebuilt and features a timber frame with whitewashed brick and render infill, weatherboarding below the eaves, a corrugated asbestos roof, and irregular wooden casements on the main floor and basement.
