Numbers 151-157 And Attached Walls

Numbers 151 to 157 form a house and three attached cottages on the north side of High Street, Marske. The property largely dates to the mid-18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the mid-19th century and further changes in the 20th century. The exterior is constructed of herring-bone tooled sandstone with ashlar dressings, and has a roof of pantiles and concrete tiles, featuring stone gable copings and stone chimneys.

The building is two storeys and has a nine-window range, arranged as a 2:3:2:2 pattern. Number 151 is taller, and includes a six-panel door with a glazed overlight, protected by a stone hood supported on brackets. There is a projecting square bay with stone mullions and a flat roof to its left, and a similar sash window above the doorway. The windows are primarily sashes, many with projecting stone surrounds. A stone eaves gutter cornice and a high blocking course run along the façade. The roof has pantiles with stone gable copings, altered in pitch, with truncated triangular edge blocks. The stone ridge is punctuated by end chimneys with cornices.

The left return includes a blocked window high on the right and a wooden oriel window on the first floor to the left. The section of the terrace to the right is set back, featuring a lugged stone surround to a six-panel door at the centre of Number 153 and renewed doors with small overlights to the right of Numbers 155 and 157. Stone mullions define the three-light ground-floor windows with narrow sashes, and single windows above the doors, alongside two-light windows over the ground-floor windows. A lower eaves line features a stone eaves gutter. The rear has a gabled wing with a former tall stair window that is now partly blocked, with a 20th-century casement window inserted. The rear also includes a single light window to each outhouse, a stone lintel above a recessed door to the yard of Number 157, and three inserted garage doors. The rear elevations incorporate 20th-century brick extensions. The interior has not been inspected.

Subsidiary features include a low stone wall extending from the front of Number 151 and curving to the right end of Number 153, with flat stone coping and square corner, intermediate, and gatepiers topped with corniced copings. A high rear yard wall continues from the rear wing gable and rises at the gables of the monopitch rear outhouses to each house, capped with rounded stone coping between the outhouses.
