Description
Marbury House Farmhouse is a farmhouse marked 1759 but originating from the 17th century. It features roughcast walls and a graded grey slate roof. The building has two storeys plus an attic and includes three windows. A glazed porch with a hipped slate roof, likely added in the early 20th century, contains a replaced four-panel door. The windows are small casements with three 2-pane lights. There is a first-floor band on the central and left rooms, and the flush gable chimneys include a large one on the right gable, with a ridge chimney of one flue located between the central and right rooms. Inside, the central room has oak beams, and the left room features a broad-board door and a six-panel door with small central panels. A substantial portion of oak framing remains intact. At the back, a one-storey rear wing connects the farmhouse to a two-storey, one-room former lodging for farm workers.
