Marbury Cottage

Marbury Cottage is a house located in Marbury cum Quoisley, dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with additions made around 1660 and again around 1720, along with 20th-century alterations. The structure is timber framed with brick infill, featuring Flemish and random bond brickwork, and has a slate roof. It stands two storeys high.

The front facing the road has a gabled wing to the left of the centre, which includes 20th-century tripartite windows on both the ground and first floors. The right side displays close-studding with an angle brace at the left corner and an inserted row of 18th-century studding above. There is a three-light ground floor window with ovolo-moulded mullions on the left, and to the right, a wing rebuilt in the 20th century, featuring three 20th-century two-light ground floor windows, and a single-light and two two-light casement windows on the first floor. To the left of the gabled wing, there is renewed 20th-century brickwork at the ground floor and close studding with a middle rail on the first floor, along with an angle brace on the right. A portion of random bonded 18th-century brickwork is also visible.

On the garden side, there is a chimney breast made of 18th-century brick on the right, and to the left, uneven timber framing with small cells and angle braces. The ground floor has a glazed door and two single-light windows, along with a 19th-century cross window on the left. The first floor features one three-light window and one single-light window. A lower service wing on the left has been refaced in 19th-century bricks.

Inside, the cottage has chamfered ceiling beams and rafters in the ground and first floor rooms, small framing in the staircase well, and close studding on the first floor walls. One ground floor room showcases raised and fielded pine panelling from the late 18th or early 19th century. The first floor doors date from the 17th century and feature chased strap hinges with fleur de lys ends, along with 18th-century doors with butterfly hinges and one mid to late 18th-century door with 'in and out' planks and a contemporary door latch.
