Description
The house is wholly rendered and painted, including the cambered-head rusticated window surrounds, the plain band at first floor level, and the rusticated quoin pilasters; Welsh slate roof with ridge tiles, rendered stacks. Two-storey, single depth central entry house with continuous outshut. Four windows, two on either side of the door, but the ones on the left are much closer together than the ones on the right. The ground floor windows are 8 + 8 pane modern casements, while the first floor ones are 8 over 8 pane sashes. Central modern door within a small porch with lean-to slate roof and glazed outer door. Steeply pitched roof with stack on either gable, the left hand one being larger. Casement window in right gable end of outshut. Rear elevation has the roof swept down over the upper storey and has two main late C20 windows below. Projecting from the centre of the rear roof slope is the lateral stack of the Hall. Limestone rubble walled garden forecourt, partly painted which adds to the group with the adjoining house.
Only the three main ground floor rooms and the staircase were seen at resurvey (October 2003). All four have their features hidden by modern changes. The kitchen on the west has a possibly C17 fireplace with an oak lintel and a Victorian oven, to the left is the remains of the firestair, much rebuilt. The entrance hall has the changed lateral fireplace with the staircase going round the back of it from the left. The east Parlour has a good plaster ceiling of c1700 with central roundel. The sunburst with lady's head centrepiece bears a clear relation to the Thomas Stocking ceiling of 1766-7 in the Drawing Room at Fonmon Castle (qv) and it is probably an addition to this ceiling at that date. (Marsh House was a part of the Fonmon Castle estate at that time.) The staircase has rebuilt pine treads and a small surviving section of splat baluster.
