Marbury Hall

A small country house dating from about 1806. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick, painted, with ashlar dressings and a slate roof with lead flashings. The front has seven bays arranged symmetrically. A slightly projecting plinth runs along the base, and the central bay is slightly recessed, featuring engaged antae framing the doorway, with a simplified entablature above. The front door is made of oak and was brought from Eaton Hall near Eccleston, and is located within a recessed porch with a half-glazed door and a segmental fanlight. Bow windows flank the entrance, incorporating three bays on each side. The ground floor windows are deep sash windows with three panes high and two wide, reaching down to the level of the plinth. The first floor has seven sash windows, similarly sized. Deep eaves extend around the building, and a hipped roof has chimney stacks with three flues on the right and five on the left. A four-bay service wing is set back on the left side of the house, incorporating 20th-century windows and a 20th-century lean-to glazed porch. There are two first-floor windows on the right-hand side of the main house, also with three panes high and two wide.

The rear elevation is symmetrically disposed with three bays, featuring a central projecting bay with a doorway topped by a segmental relieving arch and a moulded wooden door surround with a rectangular overlight containing fan-shaped glazing bars. Tripartite windows with segmental relieving arches are on either side of the doorway; the window on the left has a later 19th-century French window in the centre, and the right window has a 20th-century replacement. The first floor has a staircase window with a four-panes-high-by-four-wide design and a segmental head. Other first-floor windows are of a similar design with horned sash panes (three high, two wide). A portion of parapet originally stood above the central bay. To the right is the two-storey service wing with French windows to the left and a cambered-headed sash window with a stone sill on the ground floor. Two similar windows are located above.
