2/27 Orchard House
GV II
House. C15/16, altered in C18. Timber framed, plastered, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. 3 bays of a long-jetty house facing NW, which formerly extended further to the SW. From the SW bay an unjettied range of 3 bays extends to the NW, enclosing this part of the jetty, with an C18 stack at the junction, facing SW. C20 lean-to porch in rear angle, and C20 lean-to extension with felt roof to rear of NW range. 2 storeys. SW elevation (towards Boose's Green), 3-window range of C20 casements. C20 half-glazed door in C20 fluted and pedimented doorcase. An original plain bracket below the jetty is enclosed by the rear porch. One early C19 casement of 4 lights with handmade glass above this porch. Both ranges have jowled posts, heavy studding with curved braces trenched to the inside, shutter grooves for unglazed windows, plain joists of horizontal section, and crownpost roofs with axial bracing. The NW range has one originally open truss with unjowled posts and chamfered arched braces. The plan is unusual, with the jetty of one range enclosed by another late medieval range; no explanation is apparent, but one range may have been resited. RCHM 6.
