Description

Marlbrook House and the attached outbuilding are a house and outbuilding dating from the 15th century, with parts rebuilt in the 16th century, extended in the 17th century, and further modified in the mid-20th century. The structure is timber-framed with wattle-and-daub infill, set on a coursed rubble plinth and covered by a slate roof. The building is arranged in an L-plan, featuring a three-bay 16th-century hall range to the southeast and a two-bay 15th-century cross-wing to the southwest, which was extended to the south in both the 16th and 20th centuries.

The northeast front has two storeys, with a jettied cross-wing on the right that includes a two-light casement window on each floor. The entrance is located on the left side and features a 19th-century half-glazed door. The hall range also has two storeys and contains three windows: a five-light window with chamfered wooden mullions on the left, and two two-light casements. The ground floor has a three-light casement on the right and a square bay with a gable on the left. Additionally, there is a single-storey carriage entrance with double doors at the left end.

The framing of the 15th-century cross-wing consists of four square panels high, with curved braces supporting the jetty that rises from pilasters. The two outer panels on the gable feature pairs of angle braces, with the left side forming a two-centred arch and the right side a trefoil. The gable-end truss has three struts to the collar and curved struts in the apex, while the 15th-century bargeboards display cusped decoration. The side wall is supported by curved angle braces. The hall range has four square panels high with angle braces, and the 17th-century rear range has three square panels high with woven infill and boards set in grooves. Inside, the cross-wing features a cusped roof.
