Description
Chapel Cottage in Orton is a Gothic-style, single-storey, cruciform cottage built in 1854, likely designed by architect Thomas MacKenzie from Elgin. The cottage features a three-bay facade with a tooled ashlar front, a rubble east gable, and modern harling on other sides, complemented by tooled and polished ashlar dressings.
The central porch is advanced and gabled, featuring a recessed pointed-headed entrance with cusped detailing and a pair of flanking nook-shafts decorated with nailhead motifs. Above the porch is a trefoil plaque in the gablet. The cottage has paired lights and flanking pointed-headed bipartite windows, as well as large pointed-headed plate traceried windows in the east and west gables.
All windows and the doorway are adorned with hoodmoulds that have masked stops. The glazing is lattice-pane, and the eaves cornice on the front displays stylised mask corbels. The roof features sawtooth skews, a central ridge stack, and is covered with local slate.
