Description
Marchant House is an 18th-century house located on Church Road in Plymstock. The front features slate hanging, while the rest of the building is rendered over what is likely rubble. It has a dry slate half-hipped roof with an open gable at the front, which includes a 16-pane, 2-light casement window and a modillion eaves cornice that connects to the eaves cornice. The house has brick stacks at either end.
The layout is a shallow double-depth plan with two rooms at the front flanking a central entrance hall, along with a lower service wing that is slightly set back on the right. The house is two storeys high plus an attic and has a symmetrical three-window front. It possibly retains original 12-pane hornless sash windows and features a central doorway with an original six-panel door that has fielded panels, although the doorcase has been removed.
Inside, there is an original staircase with turned balusters and newels. The front ground-floor rooms have panelled doors, chair rails, and plaster ceiling cornices.
