Description

Furness Villa is a house built in 1858, likely designed by T.E. Owen. The building is stuccoed with a Welsh slate roof and consists of two storeys and a rear basement, arranged in an L-shaped plan with two bays. The entrance front features a north-facing lower wing that has a 20th-century door with a fanlight, set within a gabled central projection that has projecting verges and heavy moulded brackets. To the left, there is a recessed wing with a 4-pane circular casement and a 20th-century door. Above the entrance, there is a moulded band course on the central projection, and on the first floor, there are two narrow sash windows set under moulded round arches with a moulded impost band. The right return shows that the left wing has a lean-to roof, with a 2-light casement window on the left and a 6-pane sash window above it. The right wing is gabled and features heavy shaped eaves brackets. At the rear, there are three sash windows on the ground floor, each with a moulded cornice on shaped brackets; the central sash has an ornate iron window guard attached. There is also a 20th-century single storey and basement extension on the right. The interior has not been inspected.
