Marsh Cottages

Marsh Cottages are two dwellings that were originally one building, dating from the 16th, 17th, early 18th, and early 19th centuries. Constructed of brick and tile, the cottages include a late medieval timber-framed house that has been reclad at the east front. The structure features a two-storey cross wing on the north side and a substantial 17th-century timber-framed extension at the rear, which was reclad on the south side in the early 19th century.

The east elevation is two storeys high and has five windows, with three of them being blank on the upper and lower levels. The roof is plain, with a shafted stack and a lower gable that slightly projects on the north side. The cross wing displays exposed framing, with the north side consisting of two bays featuring arch bracing and brick infill, while the top panels are rendered. The east gable is mostly tile-hung above the exposed framing. The main part of the east front showcases early 18th-century brickwork in Flemish bond, complete with a first-floor band, rubbed flat arches, and a plinth. The windows include mullion and transom leaded lights, and there is a plain doorway with a two-panelled door beneath a gabled hood.

The north wall of the rear wing has massive exposed framing, while the south side is constructed of brickwork in Monk bond, featuring cambered openings. The gable at the south end of the east front is tile-hung with decorative bands above brickwork in English bond. The cottages also have casement windows and two boarded doors located at the north and south ends of the rear extension.
