Description
Forest Farmhouse, dating from 1867, was built by the Lovelace Estate. The house is constructed from flint rubble, with some flint that has been carefully shaped, and has brick and terracotta detailing. It has slate roofs, some of which are hipped. The house consists of a two-storey main block to the left, with single-storey service buildings extending in a U-shape around a courtyard to the right. The front has substantial stacks with decorative corbelled tops.
On the street facade, a two-storey angle bay is located to the left. This bay features an elaborate brick and terracotta plaque band above the ground floor, with arcaded and machicolated eaves. There is one original window with a cambered head and metal casement on the first floor to the right, with one window below. The angle bay also has one first floor window on each face, and larger ground floor windows. A door is positioned in the angle between the angle bay and the gabled return front. One further ground floor window is found to the right, within a weatherboarded, pentice-roofed extension. Further weatherboarded and brick extensions are present to the right.
The building is one of a group of estate buildings constructed by Lord Lovelace, uncle to Lord Byron, in the parish of East Horsley.
