Description
Marklands House is a house dating from the 17th century, with an extension added in 1746. It is built of dressed stone and features quoins on the first two bays, topped with a slate roof. The house has two storeys and three bays, with the third bay forming a slight forward extension.
On the ground floor, the first bay contains a three-light single-chamfered-mullioned window, while the second bay has a tripartite window with 20th-century small-paned glazing, which was likely originally sashed. The third bay features a 20th-century small-paned casement. The first floor mirrors the ground floor, with the first bay having a window similar to that below, the second bay showcasing a window that was originally sashed but now has a 20th-century casement, and the third bay featuring a three-light 20th-century small-paned casement. The entrance is marked by a lintel inscribed with "M/I M/1746". The house has cross-axial and gable-end stacks, and the rear facade includes some blocked windows along with casement windows.
