Description
Orchard House is a 17th-century building, likely constructed from local rubblestone, though the visible walls are rendered and painted. It features a double roman tile roof and has an original gable entry plan, consisting of one storey and an attic. The gable end faces the road, where the original door on the left has been replaced with a window, and there is a small stair window on the right, which is a 2 x 2 light. An outhouse covers part of the gable and includes a window facing the road with a monopitch roof. A large brick stack is located at the gable (refer to the history for more details).
The main visible elevation has a plain, steeply pitched roof without a stack at the far gable. The entrance elevation features an off-centre entrance that has been altered with a small hood replacing a window in the late 20th century. To the left of the entrance is a 2-light casement window, and to the right is a 4-light hall window, both under timber lintels and fitted with double glazed plastic units. Above, there are three gabled dormers, each with a 2-light 3 + 3 pane casement.
On the rear elevation, there are three 2-light casement windows of varying sizes, all with timber lintels. At the right-hand end, there is a modern 4-light casement window under a timber lintel. The interior details were not available during the resurvey, but the owner mentioned that there was a large fireplace on each floor.
