Little Marston Farm House

Little Marston Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, with some earlier elements. It is constructed from local stone that is cut and squared in a random coursed style, and it features Welsh slate roofs with coped gables and finials. The building has a complex plan with five roofs, four of which run parallel. The east elevation is two stories high and consists of three bays. The central entrance has a six-panelled front door with a fanlight above, set within a wooden lattice front porch. There are 16-pane sash windows, with the upper panes smaller than the lower ones, set in plain reveals and topped with voussoired flat arches. The north elevation has four gables and includes 20th-century doors and windows. The house has a well-documented history; it was part of the Domesday manor of Marston Parva and belonged to John when he became king in 1199. The Stourton family held it from 1402 to 1641, during which time it had a private chapel and its own well. It was transferred to the Seymour family in 1766, who owned it into the 20th century, by which time it was referred to as Little Marston Farm.
