Description
Marsh House is a house built in the early 19th century. It features a rendered exterior that is grooved to resemble ashlar, with a plinth and string course. The roof is hipped and has a shallow pitch, covered with slate, and there are rendered stacks at the gable ends. The house has a double pile layout with a single-storey, one-bay addition on the right side.
It stands two storeys tall and has three bays. The first floor has 16-pane sash windows set in raised surrounds, while the ground floor has later 12-pane sash windows flanking the entrance and one in a flat-roofed wing to the right. The entrance features a flat-roofed pilaster porch with a 20th-century glazed door and a 20th-century glazed inner door with a rectangular light above. The left side of the house has a three-bay return. The design of Marsh House is similar to that of Okehills in Cheddon Fitzpaine, suggesting it may have been built by the same builder.
