Description
Simple Classical style showing probable influence of the work of Inigo Jones and Sir Christopher Wren, Long, 2-storey symmetrical range built of rock-faced, coursed, red sandstone with freestone dressings including 1st floor sill band, voussoir lintels and a ‘sparrow-picked’ plinth; renewed slate roof with wide boarded eaves. 12-pane sashes, some horned and on ground floor many have metal bars. The 17+5+17=bay design of the front is focused on the advanced and pedimented central section which has freestone bellcote with round arched openings and pedimented cap with cannonball weathervane lettered ‘ORD’. Clock face to central roundel of pediment. Mostly boarded doors with 3-pane overlights; steps to right hand doorways because of the slope of the ground. Pediment treatment repeated on 4-bay gable ends with blind roundel; the left hand gable has paired central entrances (one blocked) and the other has steps up to a single central door. Similar rear with central pediment and end lean-tos; plain rubble (not rock-faced) masonry; projecting toilets rebuilt. Linked to parallel low stone range.
