Description

Marchmont House is a building believed to date from the mid-18th century, which has since been converted into shops. It is constructed of red-brown brick with stone dressings, featuring a timber doorcase and a slate roof. The building has late 20th-century timber, glazed, and tiled shopfronts.

The structure is rectangular in shape and located on the east side of High Street, with its main entrance facing west. It has two storeys and consists of five equal bays that face High Street. The pitched roof runs parallel to the street and is topped with ridge chimney stacks on both gable end walls. The principal elevation is symmetrically arranged, although the ground floor has undergone significant alterations in the late 20th century. In the center of the ground floor, there is a moulded timber doorcase with a pediment supported by console brackets, accessed by two curved stone steps. The door itself is from the mid- to late 20th century. Flanking the door are late 20th-century shopfronts, with the southern shopfront extending onto the south elevation. The first floor features five timber six-over-six sash windows beneath gauged brickwork heads with stone or stucco cills. An eaves cornice, possibly of timber, runs across the top of the windows. At both ends of the principal elevation, brickwork quoins rise to a moulded stone kneeler.

The north and south flank walls are mostly blank, except for a brick plat band that runs partially across the south elevation at first-floor ceiling height.

At the rear, there is a full-width extension of two low storeys beneath a catslide roof. Two tall brick chimney stacks emerge from the catslide, one on the south gable wall and one on the party wall between Numbers 363 and 364. The first floor features three two-over-two timber sash windows alongside a small two-pane casement. Attached to the rear of the main building is a single-storey, brick outbuilding from the mid-20th century.
