Description
Shepherd's Furze Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1770 as an estate building for the Verney family. The east front, which faces Claydon House, is constructed of dressed stone and features a plinth and moulded stone eaves. The sides and rear are made of brick, and the building has an old tile roof with flanking brick chimneys. It is two storeys high and has three bays. The outer bays contain 20th-century three-light barred wooden casements, with stone voussoir heads above the ground floor windows. The central bay has similar paired casements above a 20th-century panelled door with a barred rectangular fanlight. There is a late 19th-century extension set back to the left, made of rat-trap bond brickwork, which is one storey high with two bays and 20th-century casements. There are also modern extensions at the rear.
