Marshall Farmhouse And Adjoining Farm Buildings To South And South-West

Marshall Farmhouse and the adjoining farm buildings to the south and south-west are a farmhouse likely dating from the mid to late 17th century, with later alterations made in the late 18th century or early 19th century. The structure features colourwashed stone rubble walls and a gable-ended roof primarily covered in corrugated iron, with rag slates at the rear of the right-hand end. There is a brick stack at the right gable end and a stone rubble lateral stack at the rear.

The farmhouse is arranged in a probable three-room-and-through-passage plan, with the lower room on the right heated by the end stack, the hall heated by the rear lateral stack, and an unheated inner room. A late 18th or early 19th-century outbuilding wing projects from the higher end of the house, with an additional range returning parallel to the house. A 19th-century outshut has been built at the rear of the hall.

The exterior is two storeys high and features an asymmetrical five-window front from the 19th century, consisting of small-paned casements with H-L hinges in one, two, and three-light configurations. There is an early 20th-century plank door located to the right of centre. A cob and rubble outbuilding projects from the left end of the house, which includes a 19th-century two-light casement on the first floor, a plank door on the ground floor to the right of centre, and a slatted window to the left. At right angles to this wing and parallel to the house is another outbuilding range that has two ground floor doorways on the inner face, stone steps on the outer face leading to a first-floor doorway, and a round-arched doorway to its left.

The interior of the farmhouse is currently inaccessible due to it being unoccupied as of February 1988, but it may contain features of interest. The farmhouse maintains an unspoilt and traditional external appearance and groups well with its adjoining farm buildings.
