Amwell Marsh Cottage to East Side of Pumping Station

Amwell Marsh Cottage is a house built in 1883, originally serving as the Engineer's House for the Amwell Marsh Pumping Station of the New River Company. The cottage is constructed from yellow stock brick, featuring moulded brick dressings, red brick inset panels, moulded stone lintels, stone sills, and ogee-shaped eaves brackets. It has hipped red tile roofs and is a small two-storey, three-bay house facing north, with a single-storey wing at the rear center. The design reflects contemporary industrial architecture, with a symmetrical pilastered front, an elaborate moulded brick cornice at the first-floor level, an offset plinth, and a projecting brick porch that occupies the lower half of the central bay. The round-headed doorway includes a fanlight, a large stone keystone, and a moulded brick drip mould over the arch. The upper windows feature similar yellow brick round arches set in red brick panels, with the central window being blind. The lower windows have square heads with moulded stone lintels and consist of two-light divided casements with top lights. The cottage is part of a group with the pumping station to the west.
