Marsoville

Marsoville is a holiday cottage built in 1901, constructed using two disused Great Eastern railway carriages. The building is made of timber and features a pantile roof with an external brick stack at the rear. The entrance front has a five-arch open wooden verandah, flanked by splat balusters, and diamond-glazed panels on the sides. Above this, there is a three-light casement window in the gable. Each side of the cottage retains a carriage front with five former doors and two-light windows in between. The rear facade includes a central wooden canted bay window with plain sashes and a hipped plain tile roof. Above this, there are triangular windows on each side at the base of the gable, along with a central two-light casement window above. Marsoville is recognized as a very early, important, and well-preserved example of a holiday cottage made from railway carriages.
