Built in 1875 by Richard Thornton, a local carpenter and builder. Locally listed building.

{1} Built in 1875 by Richard Thornton, a local carpenter and builder, Marsh is a good example of a 19th century house. It has three bays and is two storey with a slate, hipped roof. It is built in local brick with some fine detailing, including a classically styled door surround with pilasters and a pediment
canopy, and corbel and fascia detailing at the eaves. The windows are two-over-two timber sash with decorative stone lintels. The door is a typical four panel with a window light above. There is a brick chimney at the eaves on the southern end. To the rear of the property stands a 19th century outbuilding, possibly used by Mr. Thornton for his carpentry and wheelwright business. To the front of the property there is a low brick boundary wall with brick piers at both ends, and a small decorative wrought iron gate. A taller red brick wall of Flemish Garden Wall bond stretches along the boundary to the south. There is also an interesting, decorative conservatory with lancet arched windows on the southern elevation, possibly 20th century in date. Forms a grouping with Alpha
