Little Marchmont Marchmont House

Little Marchmont, also known as Marchmont House, is a late 18th century small country house located on the west side of Piccott's End. It is designed in a Neoclassical style and has an L-shaped plan. The house features a low-pitched Welsh slate roof with a cornice and pediments on both the road and garden fronts, which include semi-circular windows in the tympana. The building stands two storeys high with attics, and the entrance front includes a two-storey semi-circular bow on the right side. It has three sets of three-light sash windows with glazing bars set in reveals.

On the ground floor, there is a pair of three-light windows under segmental panels that flank a recessed porch supported by Greek Doric columns, which is topped with a frieze cornice and a segmental panel. The entrance features a two-fold six-panelled door with metal grilles on the marginal lights. To the right, there is a two-storey, five-window separate dwelling that was formerly the back wing of the house. The garden front includes a trellis verandah that has been glazed.

Inside, the house retains many original features, including friezes and cornices, a staircase, an elliptical niche in the north ground floor room, fluted Roman Ionic pilasters, and two medallion plaques. Little Marchmont was the home of the third Earl of Marchmont, who lived from 1708 to 1794, and was a statesman and a friend of Alexander Pope and Henry St John, Lord Bolingbroke.

No 57 (Marchmont House), Little Marchmont, the outbuilding (formerly stables), and the gate piers form a group.
