Marton Hall Cottages Marton Priory

Marton Hall Cottages, located at Marton Priory, consist of the remains of a manor house and barn, now divided into three separate homes. The structure likely dates back to around 1600 but has undergone significant rebuilding, with the barn probably constructed in the 19th century. The cottages are built of rubble and feature a stone slate roof, standing two storeys tall.

On the ground floor, there are three windows, and four on the first floor, all primarily from the 19th century and mostly sashed, except for the central ground floor window, which is a three-light square mullion with a transom. At the rear, there is a three-light double-chamfered stone mullion window and a three-light recessed square mullion window. A notable stone doorcase, believed to have originated from Gledstone Hall, adds character to the entrance.

The building has three stacks, one of which is located at the southern end and features two impressive fireplaces with Tudor-arched and basket-arched designs. The former barn projects forward as a five-bay structure, with the leftmost bay resembling a porch from an earlier construction. This bay is distinguished by quoining and a large chamfered segmental arch. Above this arch is a four-light double-chamfered stone mullion window with a hood-mould. The entryway is tunnel-vaulted. The design of this bay is echoed in bay five and approximately in bay three, which has a three-light recessed square mullion window. Bays two and four feature similar windows on the ground floor, with pitch holes located above.
