Description

Marsh House Farmhouse, along with an attached store and barn to the west, is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of rendered rubble and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features three bays. The windows are flush chamfered and mullioned, consisting of three lights, except for the left-hand bay which has two lights. The ground-floor window in the third bay, currently used as a store, has been altered to include a doorway. The main entrance door, located between the first and second bays, is framed by a stone surround with long-and-short jambs. There are chimneys on the left-hand gable and between the second and third bays, both topped with modern brick caps.

To the right of the farmhouse is the barn, built from sandstone rubble and topped with a corrugated sheet roof. Its wide entrance, which has long-and-short jambs and a timber lintel, is now blocked but contains a smaller doorway. There is another doorway to the right that is partly blocked. Above this doorway is a pitching hole with a plain stone surround, as well as a ventilation slit. Further to the right is an addition featuring a wide entrance with a segmental arch and another pitching hole with a plain stone surround.
