Formerly Orangery and Stables to Old Bury Hill House.
This is a long low building of which the front portion facing south was the
Orangery of Bury Hill House and the back was the stables with the coach-man's
or bailiff's house at the east end. The Orangery runs nearly the whole width
of the kitchen garden and both are now a Nursery garden. The Orangery is
a beautiful mid C18 building of 1 storey built of red brick. Stuccoed cornice
and brick parapet. It consists of 9 round-headed windows in the centre and
at each end a canted bay of 3 more similar windows. Each window is slightly
recessed. Tiled roof with hips over the bays and glass let in over the remainder.
The canted bay at the east end has been converted into a dwelling. The portion
of the building on the north which forms the Stables has a recessed centre
of 9 round-headed arches and wings of 2 similar arches each. The wings have
2 storeys and 2 windows each, a string course, cornice and parapet, also
pilasters flanking the windows and forming an arch over each 1st floor window.
In the centre portion pilasters flank the arches which contain lunette windows
of 3 lights at 1st floor level. The wall beneath these windows is blank
except for 2 doors. Cornice and parapet over the centre portion. Tiled
roof with 1 dormer at west end. The arches flanking the centre arch contain
no lunette window but a round-headed recess. Western end of stables converted
into a dwelling with brick projection of 1 storey. At the east end of the
stables is a contemporary house of 2 storeys and 3 windows. Red brick.
Stringcourse, cornice and parapet. Glazing bars intact. Round-headed doorway
on northern side. Contemporary doorcase on eastern side: segmental pediment
on consoles, with carved pilasters flanking doorway; taken from a house in
Surbiton.
