Description
Orlingbury Hall is a country house with origins in the 16th century, primarily developed around 1700 for Richard Young. The building is constructed from lias and limestone ashlar, topped with Collyweston slate roofs. It has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high with an attic. The entrance front features a nine-window arrangement divided into three sections of three, with four large pilasters separating each section, all topped with an entablature and a triglyph frieze. The central doorcase has a moulded stone arch head and is flanked by pilasters, with a pediment above and a flight of steps leading up to it. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are framed by plain stone architraves. A plinth supports four two-light stone mullion windows, and there is a string course between the floors. The corners of the building are accentuated with rusticated quoins, and the ashlar gable parapets feature four roof dormers with pediments. Two lateral ashlar stacks rise above the central pilasters, with additional ashlar stacks at either end.
To the left, there is a late 18th-century two-window range that includes a Gothic arch head window on the ground floor and sash windows on the first floor, topped by a plain parapet. The elevation to the right has a two-storey canted bay. The garden front at the rear of the entrance front, dating from the 19th century, features a central two-storey canted bay. Attached to the left of the main front are late 18th-century walls and outbuildings. Inside, the entrance hall includes an Adam-style fireplace, and the staircase may have some 18th-century balusters that have been reset.
