Description
The Manse and Marsh Combe is a pair of houses built around 1790 in a castellated Gothick style, with extensions added in the mid-19th century. The buildings are constructed of Roman cement and have had their roofs replaced with modern asbestos fishscale tiles. The design is not entirely symmetrical, featuring two storeys and seven windows. Notable architectural elements include a castellated parapet, a moulded cornice, and stringcourses.
The center of the structure has two curved bays, each containing two windows on both floors, with drip moulding above and Gothic-style glazing. At each end, there are recessed wings. Marsh Combe features a 4-centred arched doorway with a modern door and renewed circular windows above. The Manse has a 4-centred arched door located in the side of its recessed section, adorned with mask corbels, a gable end with a chimneystack, and a six-panelled door that has Gothic heads on the upper panels. This doorway was likely the original entrance, relocated when the building was extended in the mid-19th century. A print from around 1830 illustrates the original layout before these alterations.
