Marden Mill Mill Farmhouse

Marden Mill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with a facade added in the late 18th or early 19th century. The building is timber framed, with the ground floor featuring red and grey brick in Flemish bond to the left of the door and chequered red and grey brick on a stone base to the right. The first floor has plain tile-hanging at the front and fishscale tiles on the gable ends, topped by a plain tile roof.

The house has a lobby entry plan consisting of two timber-framed bays and a central stack bay, and it stands two storeys high with an attic. It has a steeply-pitched half-hipped roof with a gablet to the left and a red and grey brick stack towards the center. The front has three two-light dormers with hipped roofs and irregular fenestration, including four leaded casements: one three-light to the left of the stack, one two-light beneath the stack, and one three-light and one two-light to the right. The door features four fielded panels, two top lights, and a flat corniced hood situated under the stack.

To the right gable end and the rear, there is a lean-to, and a 19th-century bakehouse at the rear connects to the house via a pergola. The bakehouse is partly rendered and weatherboarded, partly brick, with a plain tile roof that is gabled to the left and hipped to the right. It is a single-storey structure with a left gable end stack and a small projecting gabled store on the left gable end. The rear features a centrally projecting rectangular oven with an individual flue, and there is a well-head adjoining the front wall.

The interior has been only partly inspected but includes a fireplace, two copper stands, a bread-oven hatch, and a sink stand. The ground-floor rooms have chamfered axial beams and plain brick fireplaces with chamfered bressumers. A later painted wood staircase with turned balusters is located behind the stack.
