Orchard House

Orchard House is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the mid to late 17th century, with alterations made in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from coursed squared ironstone and has plain-tile roofs from the 20th century, with brick ridge and end stacks, the ridge stack set on a stone base. The building has an L-plan layout with two storeys and an attic.

The main range, which faces the garden, features a central leaded 4-light ovolo-moulded stone mullion window with a hood mould, and a 3-light casement window on the first floor with a wooden lintel. There is also a 2-light chamfered stone mullion cellar window and a small blocked 1-light window with a chamfered stone surround on the first floor to the left, just above floor level. The gable end has a 3-light ovolo-moulded stone mullion window on the ground floor.

The wing that faces the road and is located to the rear left of the main range has a 20th-century 6-panel front door with a wooden lintel and 20th-century casement windows. Inside, there is a bar-stop-chamfered spine beam, an old stud partition, and an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer leading to a salt cupboard. The interior also includes a timber spiral staircase and a stone cellar.
