Description
Marsh Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 17th century and was remodeled in the early 20th century. It is constructed of dry stone rubble with a stone slate and corrugated iron roof, featuring brick gable end chimneys. Originally, there was a gable entry beside the stack, but it has been altered to include opposed doors with a staircase running between them, as well as a bread oven and a former wash house lean-to attached to the north gable end.
The building is two storeys high. The east front has two 20th-century windows with 2- and 3-light casements, and a central ledged door beneath a corrugated iron gabled porch. The west front features three windows with 20th-century brick dressings. The north gable end has two small blocked windows and two additional blocked windows with labels.
Inside, the farmhouse has been completely remodeled in the early 20th century, but retains the original structure with shaped rafter-ends. The interior consists of three bays, with the north truss later braced against the north chimney stack. A notable feature is the staircase leading from the first floor to the former attic floor, which is located above the north gable entry; however, it is unclear how access to the first floor was achieved.
