Marina Villa, Eldbotle Wood

Marina Villa, located in Eldbotle Wood, is a picturesque cottage built in the mid to later 19th century, designed in an L-plan layout. It is a single-storey building with an attic in the main wing and a parallel service cottage. There is an unfortunate flat-roofed modern extension to the south.

The structure is made of squared and snecked rubble, featuring contrasting ashlar dressings and a base course. The openings have chamfered arrises.

The entrance elevation is symmetrical with three bays, and it has sweeping eaves that form a loggia. There is a boarded door at the center flanked by bipartite windows. The gabled porch at the center has decorative timber barge boarding, and the loggia columns are adorned with a decorative timber balustrade and brackets. The loggia floor is cobbled.

On the north coast elevation, the gable end of the main house features a raised bay at the center, with tripartite windows on both the ground and first floors, topped with stone bracketed hood slabs. The eaves are swept lower to the left by the loggia, which has unusual timber eaves brackets. To the right is a recessed single-storey wing that originally had an arched doorway, now altered to windows, along with a timber bracketed gabled porch. There are various windows present, and a later extension to the right includes two large windows flanking a raised battered stack.

To the south, there is a small rectangular plan, gabled single-storey cottage linked to the modern extension and the main house by recent additions. The cottage features a variety of glazing patterns in the casement windows, including diamond-pane glazing in the bipartite window to the left of the entrance door. Other windows consist of plate glass and modern glazing. The building has ashlar stacks, including two unusual stacks with moulded gabletted coping, and is covered with green slates. A modern dormer is present on the west side of the main wing.
