Description
The Bay Horse Public House is a public house built around 1900, designed by Frederick Howard Livesay, who lived from approximately 1869 to 1924. It features painted render with a painted wood and brick bar front, topped with a plain tile roof and brick chimneys. The building is in a Free Vernacular-Revival style and has 1.5 storeys with three windows.
The bar front consists of five bays, with the left bay being a single storey, defined by scroll-topped pilasters. There is a recessed, renewed door on the left. The four windows on brick stall risers have segmental heads for the lower lights, with the central two being tripartite and featuring upper glazing bars. A fascia runs between the pilasters in all bays, and there is a cornice with scrolled pediments above the pilasters.
On the first floor, the central window has a wide segmental pediment and two casement lights with glazing bars. The flanking windows are four-light casements, with the central two lights forming canted oriels supported by single curved wood brackets. A similar design is found in a shallow wide four-light window located in the half-timbered gable peak, which has carved wood brackets above the window and stepped bargeboards on the large gable that breaks through the eaves. The roof features end brick chimneys.
It is noted that reconstruction of an adjacent property may continue over the left bay, which is a single storey.
