Description
Orchard House is a house dating from the 17th century, with earlier origins and 20th-century alterations. It has a cruck frame, is built of coursed limestone rubble, and features a thatched roof with brick stacks. The house has a three-bay hearth-passage plan. The entrance consists of a boarded door, flanked on the left by two three-light Yorkshire sash windows and one three-light Yorkshire sash window on the right. There is also a three-light Yorkshire sash half dormer in the second bay. The roof is steeply pitched, with an end stack and a ridge stack. Inside, the two central pairs of crucks remain, supporting a tie-beam roof.
