Marley Hall

Marley Hall is a house built in 1627, with additional constructions from the 17th century, originally for John Saville. The building is made of dressed stone and has a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and features an L-shaped front, with a one-bay gabled wing on the left that projects from the main range, which consists of three bays, the left bay being gabled.

The main range has an off-centre gabled open porch with a basket arch supported by columns with imposts. Inside the porch, there are benches on either side and an inner nail-studded plank door set in Tudor-arched surrounds. The windows are double-chamfered mullion windows, with a five-light window to the right of the porch and a six-light window with a transom to the left, which has leaded glazing, a hoodmould, and a two-light window above it. The gable features shaped kneelers, chamfered ashlar coping, and a finial. There is a stack to the right of the porch.

The wing has quoins and one five-light window on each floor, with the first-floor window retaining its glazing bars. It also has shaped kneelers, shaped ashlar coping, and a finial. The rear of the building shows three ranges: the left range has a chamfered plinth, a chamfered segmental-arched doorway with notched skewbacks and voussoirs, a four-light window to the right with a dripmould, a three-light window above, and a gutter-spout to the right. The central range features a first-floor taking-in door with interrupted jambs and a gable stack. The right range has a door and a window above, both from the late 19th century, and a cornice.

On the left return, there are two shouldered external stacks. The windows include a two-light window to the left with a hoodmould and a two-light window above it, a two-light window to the right, and a four-light window with a hoodmould that has been converted into a doorway, with a four-light window above it. Inside, the main room has a segmental-arched voussoired fireplace with roll moulding, 17th-century plasterwork on the ceilings, beams, and the tops of the walls (some of which are damaged), and the Saville arms depicted in the window glazing.
