Description
Furzey Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that possibly dates back to 1708, with later additions from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed rubble stone and features alternating flush quoins. The roof is made of stone slate, with coped verges and kneelers, and there are ashlar end stacks with moulded cornices and offsets. The original structure is a single range of two storeys and an attic, with a contemporary single-storey and attic wing to the right, along with a two-storey rear extension.
The south front of the farmhouse has five windows, which are two-light stone mullions with transoms set in plain stone frames. There are four similar windows below a plat band. The central entrance features a 20th-century glazed door with quoins and a fanlight above. A small hipped dormer with paired wooden casements is located centrally. The small range to the right includes a three-light wooden casement and a gabled dormer that cuts into the eaves above, along with a single-storey hipped additional wing.
The rear extension, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, has a slate roof and some 12-pane sash windows on the west side. An early 20th-century single-storey corridor has been added to the back of the main block, featuring a studded front door under a flat stone hood supported by console brackets, and a three-light stone mullion window to the right.
