Description
Orchardlands is a late 18th century detached house with a later addition, featuring two storeys and a symmetrical three-bay rectangular plan. It has a short single-storey service wing to the west, which is likely slightly newer. The exterior is harled with painted ashlar dressings and includes an eaves cornice and architraved openings.
On the south elevation, there is a central entrance with a six-panel timber door and a rectangular fanlight above. Flanking this entrance are windows on both floors, along with two windows in the single-storey wing to the outer left. The north elevation features a stair window in the centre, with additional windows in the flanking bays and one in the single-storey wing to the outer right. The west elevation has an entrance to the left of the single-storey wing and a window to the right, with a first-floor window set back to the right of the main block's gable end. The east elevation is a blank gable end.
The house has 12-pane timber sash and case windows and a grey slate roof, with the roof of the single-storey wing being piended. There are coped gablehead stacks on either side of the main block, with round cans.
Inside, the layout appears to be intact, featuring some original six-panel timber doors in replacement doorcases and a winding stone staircase with a cast-iron balustrade.
The property also includes gatepiers and a boundary wall. There are a pair of square-plan sandstone ashlar gatepiers next to a small section of wall to the west of the house, which are chamfered at the edges and have a base course, frieze, cornice, and rounded coping. An identical pier marks the pedestrian entrance immediately to the west. A coursed rubble boundary wall runs to the west and east of the house, continuing at right angles to the south, partially featuring rounded coping.
