Description
The Marcus Humphrey House, formerly known as Elise Hospital, is a cottage hospital built in 1901 by Robert A Bryden. It features an I-plan layout in a plain Tudor style, with a central two-storey gabled hospital block flanked by symmetrical single-storey glazed wings that end in gabled ward block pavilions. The building is prominently situated to the west of the village, facing the main road.
Constructed from squared and snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings, the structure includes coped skews and skewputts. Notable architectural features include mullioned and corniced canted windows. The central block has a tripartite window adorned with an armorial plaque and a lion finial at the apex, along with gabled dormers breaking the eaves on the returns. The entrance porch, canted and corniced, is located in the right re-entrant angle and features a plaque with a shell crest flanked by cup finials on the parapet.
The wings have pitched roofs with multi-pane timber glazing, central French doors, and dentiled timber detailing, all fronted by low balustraded walls with stepped entrances and square-plan, ball-finialled piers. The end elevations have seven closely set windows.
The windows are predominantly timber sash and case with horns, and the roofs are pitched, covered with grey Scottish slate. The building also features diamond-shafted wallhead and ridge chimneystacks, circular clay cans, and terracotta ridge tiles, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.
