Horseshoe Cottage

Horseshoe Cottage is a pair of estate cottages, dating to around 1840, and now combined into a single house. It was built with coursed squared stone, ashlar dressings, and a steep-pitched slate roof. A central brick stack rises from a valley between the roofs, with moulded stone coping. The building has a plinth and coped gables, one of which has a finial. It is a single-storey structure with attic space, and has a two-window front. The windows have stone surrounds, cornices, chamfered mullions, and cast-iron diamond-pane glazing. The front gables each have a two-light window at the top, and a three-light window below. A lean-to porch with coped ends and a small single-light window is on the right return. A 20th-century door is to the left, and a larger single-light window is to the right. A raised rear wing, also of the 20th century, has two two-light windows. A stone through-eaves dormer with a two-light window, coped gables, and kneelers is above the porch. The rear of the building mirrors this, with a similar dormer and porch. The cottage is likely one of those built in a picturesque style between 1820 and 1840 by Gregory Gregory, the Lord of the Manor of Harlaxton.
