Furze Hill Place

Furze Hill Place is a country house dating to 1899. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings, roughcast above with some fishscale pattern tile hanging, and has half-timbered gables under plain tiled roofs. The building is two storeys high with attics in the gables, arranged in a roughly L-shaped plan with a service court to the rear. Multiple octagonal stacks are present, with ribbed decoration including egg and dart and dentil mouldings.

The front entrance is L-shaped, with a gabled wing projecting to the right. The left-hand range has modillioned bargeboards to its gable. Fenestration consists of diamond-pane, leaded casement windows; a single window is in each gable, with two windows on the first floor to the left, and two smaller windows below. A square and an angle bay window rise through two floors on the right side, incorporating single-pane casement windows on the first floor. A stone segmental pedimented hood sits above the left-hand gable, featuring foliage and festoon work on scroll brackets and fluted, compound piers of lobed section. A Tudor style arch with foliage carving in the spandrels leads to a recessed, marble-lined porch with double, half-glazed doors. Wrought iron gates with rose decoration are positioned at the front of the porch. A further, smaller door is situated to the left, set within a stone arched recess that supports a terrace extending from the return front, which is fitted with a stone balustrade and dentilled piers decorated with spheres. An arched gateway with a double gate to the left provides access to the service court.

The right-hand return front, which faces the garden, has an irregular facade. A three-stage square tower, with battlements and a balustrade, is located at the right corner, with string courses linking cambered head windows between each stage. Terracotta brick decorations are present, along with a stone-coped round tower to the rear right. Three gables are positioned to the left, with the largest one at the end, above a two-storey angle bay with arched, stone-dressed lights on the ground floor. Wooden mullioned and transomed windows are above. A central gable is supported by three columned arcade on a balustrade, and features two cambered head casements behind. A square stone bay window is set below, with double casement doors. A third gable is set back above a coved section behind a ground floor balustraded angle bay window.
