Description
Marshalls is a manor house, now a residence that includes former stables, dating from around 1575. The building was refronted in the mid-18th century and has later extensions. The stables, which are attached to the house, date from the 17th century. The east elevation features a facade made of Ardingly sandstone ashlar, while the side elevations are constructed of 17th-century brickwork in English bond. The west elevation retains its timber-framed structure with red brick infill, and the roof is covered with Horsham stone slabs.
The house has three bays and a projecting stair turret at the rear. The east elevation includes three tripartite sash windows and has moulded sandstone bands between the floors. A central splayed porch with sidelights, an ogee-shaped fanlight, and a six-panelled door is accessed via nine stone steps with cast iron railings and scrolled newel posts. The roof features a central gabled three-light casement dormer, a moulded cornice with kneelers decorated with lozenge patterns, and two large end brick chimney stacks, one of which is external.
The former stables and coach-house, now part of the house, are likely from the 17th century. The south front of this section is made of red brick with a modillion eaves cornice, while the east and north sides are finished in ashlar sandstone. This part has a modern tiled roof and modern windows.
Inside, the house boasts a fine interior that includes a parlour with a 16th-century stone four-centred fireplace and panelling from Slaugham Manor, which features a painted wood panel with a Coat of Arms believed to be associated with Slaugham Manor. The ground floor has four 16th-century stone door surrounds, a kitchen with a large wooden bressummer and a set of six Victorian servants' bells, an original wooden winder staircase, a first-floor stone fireplace, an original blocked large three-light mullioned window, and three door surrounds adorned with Tudor rose motifs.
