The Orangery, listed Grade II* as being of Special Architectural and Historic Interest, is probably of late 17th century origin and could possibly be the work of William Talman who was responsible for some of the remodelling of The Mansion.

The property is constructed of golden coloured Ashlar stone with rusticated quoins under a hipped slate and lead covered roof behind a parapet. The property faces due south and lies at right angles to the west elevation of The Mansion in a secluded and quiet situation and is linked by a screen wall with two shell niches. There is an Acanthus leafed coved cornice, tall sash windows (replacement) and a central door with a double flight of steps down to the garden. There is also a range of cross-mullioned windows to the barrel vaulted kitchen/ morning room.

The rear of the property was added later and the whole building was most imaginatively converted in 1992. The property provides an exciting and unique home with excellent acoustics for music in the drawing room.

The drawing room has six magnificent full height sash windows with built in window seats overlooking the terrace towards the garden. The Orangery is a very elegant property with flexible, well-presented accommodation.

The gardens are a special feature of the property. From The Orangery itself, perron-style flights of stone steps with delicate wrought iron balustrade, leads down to a wide flagstone terrace and further steps lead to a formal garden with a central urn (a copy of the Longleat urn in the British Museum).

There are formal manicured lawns, stone walling, gravelled pathways and two box hedge parterres. A flagstone pathway leads round to the side of The Orangery and through an original panelled door, with moulded stone architrave relief, giving access to the parking area and parterre garden.

From the side garden there are views over the parkland. The parterre garden lies to the north of the property and comprises a series of box hedges with roses. There is also a delightful fish pond. At one end of the parterre garden there is a paved terrace with ornate railings from which a spiral staircase leads down to a pretty and private sunken garden planted with shade loving plants.

The garaging lies to the north of the property and is approached over a substantial tarmacadam drive providing private parking for numerous vehicles.
