Station Rd - The Orchard School

The Property comprises a detached, former residential house, which is the principal school building. The building extends over two storeys and is of brick construction with timber framed sash windows and stone decoration, under a pitched tile covered roof. The building was extended in the 1990s to the west, with a single- storey extension, housing several classrooms, staff room, library, office accommodation and toilet facilities, situated around a paved courtyard. This has then been added to, with two further single storey extensions in the early 2000s, leading up to the Property’s western boundary. These provide for further teaching classrooms, to include specialist provision for design and technology, science labs, art, music and drama, sports/ dining hall, commercial kitchen, and further toilet/ changing facilities. The extensions are all modern cavity brick construction, with double glazed windows under pitched tile covered roof. The Property is set within around 9.33 hectares (23 acres). There is a tarmac drive leading up the main school building and then to front of the buildings is a mix of block paving and tarmac car park. To the rear of the school buildings are a playground and tennis courts. To the rear of the main school estate is grazing land, with a number of mature trees at its perimeter.
