Summary

Marshanda is a two storey timber-framed and rendered house with a steep pantile roof. The initial construction date of the property is uncertain, although the first sections were probably first built at some point during the 16th or 17th centuries. The confusion is a consequence of the alteration works that were carried out in the 19th and 20th centuries. The south gable may have once been used as a dairy or brewery.

Timber framed house. Evidence obscured by alterations in 19th century and 1988 but appears to be a two-cell building with firehood between the two, and upper floor, with diamond mullioned windows. Extended to north around 1580 to 1620 by ornate parlour block, and stack replaced in brick.

July 2008. Building survey.
One-and-a-half storey building, of five irregular bays. The building is thought to have originally been an open hall house due to the spacing of the bays, the position of the diamond mullioned ungalzed windows and an inserted transverse joist. The wethering of the timber of the interior south gable wall is indicative of it having been used as a brewery or dairy.
See (S3) and (S4) for further details.
