Marsh Farm And Attached Courtyard Of Outbuildings To West, Along Track 250 Metres From Lane

Marsh Farm is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, now a private house, with an attached courtyard of outbuildings to the west. The north parlour wing was added around 1600, and the building has been altered and extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with brick casing and extensions, all covered in roughcast. The roofs are steep and made of old red tiles. The outbuildings are timber framed and generally have dark weatherboarding, with thin red brickwork at the northwest corner.

The house is two storeys tall and has an H-plan layout, facing east, with two-storey extensions to the northwest and southwest that connect to former farm buildings around a rear courtyard, which is now an enclosed garden. The windows are irregularly placed and consist of casement windows with small panes. The entrance is through a glazed door located under a porch in the middle of the east front, which has been extended forward to create a lobby and a new staircase, featuring a flatter-pitched front roof slope supported by the older roof structure.

Inside, the roof space has a wide-span collar-and-side-purlin roof with tall queen struts and smoke-blackened re-used rafters. The north parlour crosswing has an external chimney on the north side wall, which features a pedimented strapwork oval motif made of cut and moulded brickwork on its outer face.
