Description
Marsh Cottage is an 18th-century cottage with later additions, extensively renovated in the 20th century. It is constructed of ironstone rubble, cob, and some brick, all painted, with a thatch roof and brick end and ridge stacks. The cottage has a two-unit plan with an additional one-unit section. It is two stories high and features a three-window range. The entrance is located at the far left, accessed through a 20th-century stone porch. The windows have irregular placements, including a small central one-light leaded window, two-light leaded casement windows on the ground floor to the left, and a similar casement above in eyebrow dormers on the first floor. To the right of the center, there is a straight joint and a later stone addition, which includes two two-light leaded casements on the ground floor with timber lintels and one two-light casement on the first floor. Inside, the cottage has chamfered spine beams.
