Description
Furnace Hill is a house constructed in the late 18th century, made from hammer-dressed sandstone that has been reused from Rievaulx Abbey. It features a pantile roof and brick stacks. The house consists of two parts: on the right is a two-cell central-entry plan with a former through-passage that has been blocked by a staircase, while on the left is a single-cell addition that is aligned differently. There is a small service outshut at the extreme right. The building is two storeys high with three windows on the first floor. It has a plinth, and the main section includes a half-glazed door flanked by two-light Yorkshire sash windows, with a fixed fire window to the extreme right. The additional section has a board door to the right and a casement window to the left, along with another casement window in the outshut. On the first floor, there are two-light Yorkshire sash windows. Wooden lintels are present throughout the building, which also features end stacks and a ridge stack.
