Description
Marlows is a house with an adjoining boundary wall located to the north-east, facing the road. It dates from the late 18th century and was refenestrated in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of ashlar Ham stone and features a plinth, a moulded cornice, and a fluted frieze, with a parapet that likely conceals a hipped slate roof. A stone stick rises from the centre right of the parapet, and there are stacks on the left return. The house is double-piled and has a wall that encloses a kitchen garden and stables at the rear. It is two storeys high with bays, and the first-floor windows are sashes without glazing bars. To the left of the entrance, there are two similar windows, while to the right, there are two blind windows, all featuring keystones in their lintels. The central entrance has a flat-roofed Doric porch with a moulded cornice and an Adam-style fanlight above a four-by-five pane half-glazed door. The long left return faces the road and has a blind window on the right and three 12-pane sash windows on the left. There is also a roughcast wall at the north-east corner, which includes a carriageway entrance with a depressed arch head in the centre and double doors. The wall is made of red sandstone random rubble with shaped brick coping that sweeps up to about five metres and curves, continuing east to the West Monkton Stores, which is not included in this listing.
