Marrick Priory Farmhouse

Marrick Priory Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed building, now divided into two dwellings. It dates from the 16th century or earlier and has undergone later alterations. The structure is built from roughcast rubble and features a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high, with a main range that has three bays and an L-shaped cross wing. The central bay of the main range projects slightly, and there is a rear outshut.

On the left side of the main range, there is an early 19th-century four-panel door beneath a fanlight with decorative glazing bars, set within a 16th-century segmental-arched doorway that has a roll-moulded design and a keystone. The central bay has a 20th-century casement window, while the right bay features a sash window. On the first floor, there are four-pane sashes on the left and right, with a blind panel in the central bay. The building has ashlar copings and an end stack on the right.

The cross-wing to the left has a large projecting chimney breast at the front. At the rear, the main range has a sash window with glazing bars on the first floor to the right. The cross-wing features a 16th-century round-headed doorway with a chamfered surround on the left, along with a blocked 16th-century single-light window to its right, and another blocked single-light window on the first floor. The building also has kneelers and copings.

Inside, the ground floor room of the main range contains a 16th-century classical entablature made of ashlar sandstone, which includes a cornice, fluted frieze, and architrave, designed to appear as if it is above four pilasters, the first three of which have sculpted masks that were likely added later. A chamfered round-arched doorway, now blocked, once connected the main range to the cross-wing in the front corner. Historical references include a 16th-century map that identifies the main range as 'The Hall' of the nunnery.
