Description

Black Horse Farmhouse is a house and cottage that has been combined into a single farmhouse, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a pantile roof, with two gable and one ridge red brick stacks. The gables are brick coped and have remnants of kneelers. The building is two storeys high and has five bays, with the right two bays representing the later 18th-century cottage.

The main house has a central doorway with a panelled door, flanked by tripartite glazing bar Yorkshire sash windows. To the right, the cottage has its own doorway with a plank door, and there is another similar sash window on the far right. All openings, except for the cottage window, are set under segmental arches. Above these, there are three similar sash windows under flat arches. Additionally, to the right, there is a late 18th-century single-storey, single-bay wing that features a single segmental arched Yorkshire sash window.
