Horse Close And Attached Barn

Horse Close and the attached barn are a house and barn dating from the mid-18th century, with the house possibly incorporating older materials on the ground floor of the right return. The structure is built of coursed rubble, featuring an imitation-stone tiled roof and rebuilt stone chimneys for the house, while the barn has a stone-flagged roof.

The house is two storeys high with two windows. It has large alternating quoins on the ground floor to the right. There is an off-centre boarded door surrounded by alternating, tooled-and-margined jambs. The windows are three-light with narrow, flat-faced stone mullions and replaced casements. The roof has end stacks with top ledges, and there is a similar two-light window on the rear of the right return.

The lower two-storey, two-bay barn is located on the left return of the house and features squared quoins. It has central opposed doorways with alternating jambs, although the rear doorway is blocked. There are two rows of breathers flanking the doorways, and a boulder plinth with breathers on the left return.

There is an altered single-storey wing at the rear of the house, which is not of special interest.
