Marramatte Farmhouse With Walls And Pavilions Adjoining

Marramatte Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse with later additions and alterations, including linking walls. It was likely designed by Sir Christopher Sykes, 2nd Baronet. The building is constructed of pinkish-brown brick in English garden wall bond and features a Welsh slate roof.

The farmhouse is three stories tall, with a single central bay that slightly projects forward, flanked by two-story, single-bay wings. The walls extend approximately 7 meters to two low-storey, single-bay pavilions, which are partly obscured by later constructions that are of no special interest. The farmhouse has a plinth and an entrance on the left return, which consists of a six-fielded-panel door that is now partly glazed, topped with an overlight featuring vertical glazing under an elliptical arch.

The front facade displays 16-pane sash windows on the first and second stories, while the third story has an unequally hung 12-pane sash, all set beneath elliptical arches with stone sills. The building has cogged eaves, hipped roofs, and a central stack. The side walls are topped with ashlar copings. The pavilions, although obscured at the lower storey, feature oculi on the first floor and have pyramidal roofs.
