Fursdon Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Constructed in the 17th century, with extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries, and some interior remodelling in the mid-19th century. The exterior is of rendered rubble with dry slate and asbestos slate roofs. It has ashlar stacks, one over an outbuilt breast at the right-hand end of the 18th-century range, and two rendered stacks flanking the central block of the original range, which has a half-hipped roof. The building is in an L-shape, with the original part extended to the rear, likely in the later 19th century, partially obscuring the front of the 18th-century range.

The garden front, overlooking a valley, has an irregular five-window arrangement. The central three-window range is taller, incorporating a double, polygonal-fronted conservatory that encloses a doorway with a panelled door and overlight, flanked by sashes. There are also sashes on the right, and two paired sashes to the first floor on the left and right, all dating from the early to mid-19th century, and featuring hornless 12-pane sashes. Taller windows above the doorway and in the flanking wings are 20th-century additions with glazing bars. The front of the 18th-century range was originally symmetrical with five windows, but the left-hand window is now within a lean-to. Original sashes with thick glazing bars remain to the right of the doorway; other windows are 20th-century replacements with horn detailing. A wide doorway has an open porch with a tent-shaped roof.

The rear of the 18th-century range has a central hip-roofed stair projection with a round-arched stair window featuring an 18th-century fanlight and a 19th-century 12-pane sash.

The interior includes a 17th-century chamfered round-arched granite doorway in the rear wall, on the right side of the current cross passage. There are also mid-19th century features, including plaster ceiling cornices.
