The road is bordered by shingle footpaths, and the gardens are hidden behind privet hedges and a rich variety of trees and bushes. The properties are large, set in extensive grounds.
Along with Furze Lane and Briar Hill, these roads broadly encompass the area once known as Furzey Down. Some years ago, a set of pillars was erected just after Furze Hill meets Furze Lane. Further, there have been some substantial redevelopments of properties on this road.
Foxglove Gardens, a recently developed cul-de-sac, leads off Furze Hill and on to three large properties.
Gates hung on brick pillars are adorned by a pair of distinctive lanterns. The drive leading to the houses is bordered by a variety of mature shrubs and bushes which lend elegance to rustic charm to this quiet bit of woodland.
