Description

The Wagon and Horses public house, originally three houses and an attached warehouse, was built in the late 18th century and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from squared coursed sandstone with a slate roof. The public house section is five bays wide, featuring raised stone surrounds to all windows. The windows are top-hung casements designed to resemble 4-pane sashes. The ground-floor second bay has a doorway alongside a paired window separated by a flat-faced mullion; a blocked doorway originally shared a matching surround but now contains a window. A further doorway is present in the fourth bay, with paired windows to its right. Chimneys are positioned to the left and on the ridge, to the right of the third bay. Adjacent to the left is a warehouse with a wide ground-floor opening, and two floors above have altered window openings with 2-light casements and plain reveals. Small windows with plain reveals are also visible to the right on both floors, with the upper one notably small. A 6-panelled door with overlight in a plain stone surround is located on the ground floor, at the warehouse’s right-hand side.
