Marash House

Marash House is a Grade II listed building located on Brook Street in Tring. It is a house that has been converted into offices and dates back to the 17th century or earlier, with a 19th-century rear extension and shop front, as well as an early 20th-century rear extension. The building features a timber frame on a roughcast high sill, with the frame exposed at the front and roughcast infill panels on the upper floor. The right part of the front has a smooth stucco finish, while the left remains roughcast. The ground floor at the northern end also has exposed framing. The rear extensions are made of red brick, and the building has a steep old red tile roof.

The structure is two storeys high with a three-cell internal chimney plan, facing east and featuring two- and three-storey rear extensions. The front consists of three structural bays with closely spaced studs on the upper floor. The eaves have been heightened, and there is a large axial chimney located a third of the way from the northern end. The east front has three irregularly spaced windows: to the left are three-light flush casements, in the middle is an 8/8 pane flush sash window above a 19th-century pilastered shop front with a moulded fascia, divided panes, and rectangular fanlights above a four-panel moulded house door on the left and a glazed shop door on the right.

The right end of the building features a small paned swept dormer window that rises through the eaves, with a three-light window below it. Inside, the central part has large flat chamfered joists that span from an axial chamfered beam, which is supported at the northern end by a large back-to-back fireplace served by the main stack. An off-centre axial beam in the northern part suggests that it may have originally been a cross-wing. The rear wall of the middle and northern rooms displays exposed posts and rails.
