Description
St Mary's in Orton is a 2-storey, 3-bay house that was remodeled and expanded from an earlier structure, designed by architect Thomas Mackenzie of Elgin and dated 1854. The house is symmetrical and faces south, featuring harled walls with tooled ashlar margins and dressings. The central bay projects and includes a gabled entrance with a hoodmould, along with windows on both the ground floor and first floor, and a gabled plaque above. The outer bay windows on the first floor break the eaves beneath finialled gablets. The ground floor and central first floor windows all have hoodmoulds. There is a canted window in the east return gable, and a lower 2-storey, 3-bay rear wing where the first floor windows also break the eaves like those on the main elevation. The house features paired diamond-coped end stacks and a similar group of ridge stacks at the rear, all topped with slate roofs.
