Furshamdown Cottage

Furshamdown Cottage is a farmhouse, possibly originally a farmhouse and adjoining cottage, likely dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with a rubble stack topped by 19th-century brick and a thatched roof. The building features a three-room layout facing south-west, with an axial stack serving back-to-back flues located to the right of the center. There is a baffle entry and outshots at each end. The cottage is two storeys high and has a balanced five-window front, with 19th and 20th-century casements, some of which have glazing bars, and one single fixed light towards the left end with leaded rectangular panes. The door is positioned to the right of center and is sheltered by a hipped thatch-roofed porch. The roof is hipped on each side and extends over the flanking outshots. Inside, there is plain carpentry detail. The windows on either side of the existing doorway appear to block former doorways, indicating that the original arrangement likely consisted of a two-room farmhouse on the left with an adjoining one-room cottage.
