Description
Furzewell House is a large villa built in the late 1840s or early 1850s. It has a plastered exterior and a hipped slate roof, with stacks featuring plastered shafts, panels, and cornices. The building has a double-depth rectangular plan, with the entrance located on the east side. A service block, which is now in separate ownership, adjoins to the north and is not listed.
The villa is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-bay entrance front. The eaves and verge brackets are paired, and the centre bay is slightly advanced and gabled. It features a projecting Greek Doric porch with distyle columns in antis. The doorway is narrow and round-headed, with a panelled front door and a fanlight above. The first-floor centre sash window has 12 panes and is set in a segmental-headed recess. The left-hand bay has blind recesses, while the right side has a 12-pane sash window on the ground floor and a blind recess above it.
On the left (north) side, there is a glazed verandah supported by posts, along with two ground-floor French windows and two first-floor tripartite small-pane sash windows. The canted west end of the return features small-pane sashes. The interior has not been inspected but may contain interesting features.
