Orroland

Orroland is a house likely dating from the mid-17th century, which has been extensively altered and extended in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The main block is a two-storey, rectangular, three-bay structure with a piend roof, finished in harling with flat raised margins. To the west, there is an L-plan wing that is two-storeys high and harled, along with a single-storey section made of painted rubble.

The layout of Orroland suggests that the northern half of the house is the original 17th-century section, characterized by its very thick internal walls and the presence of roll-mouldings on the doorways. In the late 18th or early 19th century, the house was expanded to the south, doubling its width and creating a symmetrical three-bay facade on the south side, complete with the distinctive piended roof.

The date of the L-plan wing is uncertain; it features two roll-moulded doorways on the single-storey west elevation, one of which has been partially blocked and converted into a window. These doorways are likely reused from the original house during the 19th century rather than indicating a 17th-century origin for this part of the building.

The south elevation showcases a symmetrical Georgian three-bay facade with a central semi-circular projecting single-storey corniced porch. The windows have flat margins, with the door originally located at the centre but now to the left. The long sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern. The east elevation is two-bay, featuring single windows with similar details. There is also a piended dormer with 12-pane glazing.

On the north elevation, there are three bays, with a single-light window on the left at both the ground and first floors; the ground floor window was opened in the later 20th century, while the original window on the right is now blocked. Centrally, there is a bipartite round-headed roll-moulded window from the late medieval period, presumably reused in the 17th century. Most windows are sash and case with 12-pane glazing, except for one four-pane window on the first floor to the right. There are two piended dormers and a steeply pitched piended roof with two rebuilt brick stacks at the apex. The roof was reroofed in slate in the later 20th century.

The L-plan west wing is a lower two-storey harled block with a gable to the north. The single-storey painted rubble section at right angles features two roll-moulded doorways and has flat raised margins, with all windows having multi-pane glazing. The roofs are also finished in slate.
