{3} Marsh Cottage was formerly three individual properties. Each was a two-storey single-cell unit and served by a small, square profile chimney. The building was originally only two units but has been extended to three though the date of this modification is unknown. The extension is stone-built, in contrast to the earlier cob construction.
