Description
The Black Horse is a public house built around 1820, with some minor alterations from the 20th century. It features colourwashed brick with stucco dressings and a hipped concrete tiled roof, topped with a single ridge stack. The building is two storeys high with a three-bay front. The central entrance has a 20th-century door with a plain fanlight and is framed by a pedimented wooden doorcase supported by Doric pilasters. On either side of the door are single glazing bar sash windows. The first floor has a central blank opening that displays a figure of a black horse, flanked by 20th-century casement windows. All the windows are adorned with rusticated splayed stucco lintels that have keyblocks. To the right, there is a contemporary single-storey projecting block that contains a single sash window and a square angle stack.
