Description

Marr Hall is a manor house, largely dating to the 16th century on its west front, with alterations made to the south front in the early 19th century and a 20th-century renovation. It is constructed of ashlar limestone, with 20th-century cement-tile eaves courses to a pantile roof. The building has an L-shaped plan.

The west front has two bays. The left-hand part of the house has been truncated. A single-storey porch, dating from the 16th century, leads into a lean-to addition on the return wall. This porch has a moulded round arch with decorative moulding stops and impost, flanking pilasters, and an entablature topped with an architraved panel bearing arms. To the right of the porch is a two-storey canted bay window with transomed lights arranged 1:2:4:2:1, the outermost lights being integrated into the main wall. A transomed 5-light mullioned window is situated on the right. A continuous dripmould runs above these windows, whilst the first-floor windows are similarly treated, the outermost lights being blind.

The south (entrance) front, which has four bays, features a door with an overlight in an open stone porch with part-fluted columns and a pediment. Tripartite windows have unequally-hung sash windows with renewed stone surrounds, hoodmoulds, and glazing bars. Remnants of 16th-century window surrounds remain in the walling. A stone inscription reading "ANNO DOM 1664" is located near the eaves. A pebble-dashed addition on the right has a matching window to each floor. The roof is hipped, with renewed corniced wallstone ridge stacks.

Inside, the interior has been generally altered. A wooden plaque near the stairs has a scratch-moulded surround to three panels, with inlaid lozenges bearing arms and the words "BLESSED IS GOD IN AL HIS GIFTES AND HOLY IN AL HIS WORKS / ANNO 1582 / LEWYS / RERESBY". Timbers salvaged from the roof space include inscriptions reading “Peter Thellusson Esq. Landlord… John Snowden Tenant of this Place…. This hall repaired in 1794”. A brick oven in a room to the right of the south front has a segmentally-arched, keyed lintel over the opening.
