Why it mattered
Rowantree — Marlfield matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: The façade of this house is enlivened through notable features such as the diminishing timber sash windows and the slate-hanging to the south gable. The location of this house on an elevated site called for the addition of such weather-slating. This house forms part of a group of houses built along Moore's Road by prosperous families in the mid-nineteenth century. Once partially functioning as a post office, this house forms part of the historic social fabric of the village. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
