Description

The Martins is a building said to have been constructed in 1660, originally from the 17th century but refronted in the early 18th century, with a date of 1714 noted. It is built of ashlar stone and features a Cotswold stone roof. The structure is L-shaped with a doorway located at the angle and consists of two storeys and attics, with a window arrangement of 1.2.2.

On the ground floor, there is one small paned double sash window to the left and two four-light windows with thin stone mullions to the right. A Victorian panelled door is set beneath a tented porch in the corner, and there is a continuous drip mould above. A cill band runs along the first floor of the projecting section of the front, which has 19th-century sash windows. The projecting corners are adorned with fluted Ionic pilasters that exhibit a Baroque style, and there is a modillion eaves cornice. The steeply pitched roof features three gabled dormers and paired ashlar stacks, while the rear has cross-mullion windows.

Inside, the building showcases late 17th or early 18th-century bolection surrounds around the corner fireplaces on both the ground and first floors, as well as a staircase dating from around 1700.
