Description
Furlongs is a pair of farmworkers' cottages, now a house, dating from around 1830 and shown on the 1840 Tithe Map. The front and rear are constructed of knapped flint with red brick dressings, while the side elevations are tile-hung. The building features a hipped slate roof and four brick chimneystacks. It is two storeys high with five windows. The first-floor windows have original horizontally sliding casements, and the ground-floor windows were boarded at the time of the survey but have cambered heads. There are two cambered doorcases with plank doors. The rear elevation includes a steeply roofed outshut with two windows. Historically, from 1933 until the early 1990s, Furlongs was occupied by Peggy Angus, a well-known painter and sculptress. Before the Second World War, she hosted many notable artists, including Eric Ravilious and John Piper, and was acquainted with Virginia Woolf at Rodmell and Vanessa Bell at Charleston.
