Description
March House is a two-storey building with attics and cellars, constructed from locally-made red brick in Flemish bond. The façade features three bays, with a central six-panelled door set in a panelled doorcase, topped by a flat canopy supported by console brackets. There is an inserted casement window at the center, while the outer bays have 24-paned sash windows with stone sills and slightly cambered 22-centimeter rubbed brick heads. The north and south elevations each have two bays, with 16-paned sash windows on both floors, all of which have square panes. The north doorway has been blocked. The building has dentilled brick eaves and a hipped roof covered with renewed slate, along with modern brick stacks and two rooflights in the north elevations.
At the east end, there is a lean-to structure that was formerly used as stables and a hayloft, which are interconnected. This area is said to have had an unglazed wooden-barred window and a cobbled floor until the 1950s. A cart door in the north elevation has been bricked up, with a wooden boarded door above it. There is also a former washroom at the rear, made of brick.
The house was modernized around 1950, during which the cellar access was blocked and all fireplaces were removed. The layout consists of two rooms on each floor. A boxed-in central pine staircase is said to survive, along with built-in cloak cupboards, and there is a second 19th-century staircase in the dining room.
