Description
Marsh Court is a country house, with its core likely dating from 1731, featuring extensive remodelling and wings added in 1910. The 1910 work was carried out by architects Macpherson and Richardson, and the building is designed in a Neo-Georgian style, somewhat reminiscent of Macartney. The exterior is made of coursed rubble walls, with rusticated ashlar quoins and ashlar dressings. It has a stone slated hipped roof with end and central stone stacks. The house is two storeys high with an attic and has nine bays arranged in a 2:5:2 pattern. The windows are 20th-century sashes with glazing bars set in ashlar architraves. The central bay features a prominent centerpiece that may be original, consisting of a door with an ashlar architrave and a pedimental hood on carved brackets, above which is an ashlar panel containing two arched lights flanked by carved side scrolls. At the rear, there are two stone mullioned windows, possibly from the 17th century, that have been reset. The central stack has an inscription reading "DGM 1731." Inside, there is a wide staircase from 1910 with twisted balusters.
