Segmental-headed door opening, painted timber surround, engaged Tuscan columns supporting dentilled cornice, decorative leaded fanlight, painted timber panelled and glazed door, limestone step.

Appraisal
Maraville House, a simple yet attractive house which relies largely on its balanced fenestration to impart harmony and classical order to its main façade, a feature typical of architectural development in the Georgian period. The façade is enlivened by a handsome timber door surround and the leaded fanlight is of some artistic interest. Retaining a large amount of original and early fabric the house forms a point of architectural interest on the rural roadside.
