Marston Hill House

Marston Hill House is a large house, later converted into flats, dating to 1885. It is constructed of rock-faced, coursed limestone with Bath stone dressings, and has a tiled roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic, and comprises four bays. The left bay is gabled and projects forward. The second bay features a steeply gabled porch with decorative finals and a round-headed doorway, topped with a carved head and crest, approached by two steps between wing walls. The first floor has a corbelled stack to the third bay, and the fourth bay has a canted bay window on the ground floor. All windows are stone mullioned and transomed. Three gabled dormers light the attic. The building features an ashlar cornice, mid-wall bands, and ashlar stacks with cornices. The rear elevation is similar to the front, with an elaborately carved doorhead in the third bay, and the fourth bay projecting. A tall, three-storey tower rises from the west corner, with pedimented windows on the third floor, a cornice, and shaped gables containing keyed oculi. The main house extends to the northwest, incorporating a two-storey, rock-faced service building and dwelling, also with a tiled roof.
