3/58 Marshall Farmhouse and adjoining - barn 11.11.52 II

Farmhouse. Circa 1790 with probably late C19 alterations. Whitewashed and rough cast except for the brick left end wall; thatched roof, half-hipped at ends; end stacks with tall brick shafts. Cottage orne style with a remarkably pretty front elevation. 4 room double depth plan to main range, probably with a central passage and stair hall, the principal rooms to the front and rear service rooms. The left end wall may have been rebuilt in the late C19 or C20 and a flat-roofed single storey rear addition with an extremely tall chimney shaft is probably a late C19 kitchen addition. 2 storeys. 3-bay symmetrical front elevation with a very steeply-pitched roof, the eaves thatch carried out round the 2-storey left and right bows. 6-panel front door with 4 fielded panels above the middle rail, flush panels below, a flush panelled soffit to the doorcase and a semi-circular fanlight with fine spoke glazing bars. Each bow has 3 sash windows to the ground floor, 3 to the first floor with arched heads. The top panes in each sash window have been filled in and are decorated with a small quatrefoil giving the impression of paired lights. The first floor sash window above the front door is smaller and has a variation in the same arrangement of glazing bars. A single-storey lean-to adjoins the right end; this formerly had a blocked window with an ogee dripmould N.M.R. photograph, 1948 which no longer exists. A barn at right angles to the lean-to and projecting to the front formerly had 3 blocked pointed arches (1948 list description) on the side facing the garden in front of the house. The blocked arches no longer exist. The barn has 3 old windows, 1 with chamfered mullions and 2 fireplaces, 1 with stone chamfered jambs and an arched timber lintel. Some crossbeams survive with scroll and step stops. Interior: C20 grates to front rooms, partition wall between left hand rooms removed. C18 door, probably re-sited, with fielded panels, in rear addition. Interior not thoroughly inspected and other features of interest may survive.
