The Furnace is a fine Grade II Listed period house dating from the 17th century or earlier, with brick and part tile hung elevations beneath a tiled roof.
The original farmhouse has been substantially enlarged over the years with the present owners forming a superb kitchen/breakfast/family room which creates an exceptionally comfortable, well-presented and appointed family home.
There has been much use of light oak joinery throughout, with underfloor heating in the kitchen area.
The location is a very appealing feature, being situated at the end of its own private driveway of some 125 yards in length.

The Cottage
This is located halfway along the driveway, the elevations are brick beneath a slate roof. The accommodation comprises sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. There is also an attractive wall-enclosed garden to the rear.

The Outbuildings
At the head of the driveway is a garage 23’4 x 17’6 of brick construction beneath a felt roof, with adjoining office 17’ x 7’7.

The Equestrian Facilities
Approached from a spur off the driveway is an attractive quality stable block of oak weatherboarding on a brick plinth beneath a pitched slate roof, comprising four loose boxes, tack room, large feed store, hay barn and WC. There is a concrete apron to the front and power and water connected.
To the front of the stable block is a 40m x 20m manège with a rubber and sand base.

The Gardens and Grounds
The Furnace is approached from the lane through iron gates with stone walls to the side. The driveway forms an impressive approach and extends for about 125 yards, culminating in a turning circle with a central mature oak tree, good parking area for a number of vehicles adjoining the garage. To the left of the drive is a large stream-fed pond which flows through a weir to the south.
The gardens are principally laid to sweeping lawns interspersed with mature specimen trees including Japanese Maple, magnolia, weeping pear, oaks and an ancient mulberry tree. There are several mature borders with shrubs and plants including roses and a wisteria.
To the rear of the house is a broad terrace which adjoins the family room with a lovely south-westerly aspect and adjacent parterre garden with trimmed box hedging and an impressive row of pleached lime trees.
The whole garden forms a delightful backdrop to the property with a park-like quality.

The Pasture
The pasture is divided into six post and rail enclosed paddocks with easy access from the stable block, with water connected and three have field shelters. There is also a separate gate giving access to the lane. In all about 13.2 acres.
