Description

Orchardleigh House is an early 19th-century house constructed from coursed and squared rubble with a slate roof, featuring coped verges and end brick stacks. The building has a symmetrical frontage with two storeys and three bays, each containing sixteen-pane sash windows. The central door opening has a six-panelled door, with the top two panels being glazed and framed by a dressed stone surround. Above the door is a triangular pediment. At the time of the last survey in September 1984, the frontage was largely obscured by creeper.
