Description

Fawley Bottom Farmhouse is a house from the early 19th century, with attached outbuildings that have been converted into studios. The building is constructed of flint with brick dressings and features a hipped slate roof and brick chimneys. It has a double pile design and stands two storeys tall with three bays. The house has an off-set plinth, a first floor band-course, and flat eaves. The outer bays have 4-pane sash windows, while the centre of the first floor features a 3-pane sash window above a 4-panelled door. The openings have segmental heads.

On the right side facing the road, there are two bays of 4-pane sashes. The rear of the house includes a 3-pane sash window on the first floor, a large 3-light horizontal-sliding sash on the ground floor, and a flush-panelled door to the left. There is a projecting single storey range, now used as studios, which has an old board door to the left, three stable doors, three windows, two gabled dormers, and a corrugated plastic skylight. The farmhouse has been the home of the artist John Piper since the 1930s.
