Description
Black Horse House is a former inn dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of roughcast brick with a plain tile roof and features brick integral end stacks and a ridge stack. The building is two storeys high and has a dentilled eaves band. There are four windows, which include 19th-century cross casements with straight hood moulds and a tripartite glazing bar sash window on the ground floor to the left. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed door with a corniced panel above.
To the right of the main building is a low wing, which may have originally been a cottage. This wing is also made of brick and is painted to imitate timber framing, featuring a plain tile roof and a brick integral end stack. It is one storey with an attic, displaying two windows on the front: casements with segmental heads on the ground floor and gabled attic dormers above. The central entrance is a boarded door with a flat hood supported by shaped brackets.
To the left of the main building is a single-storey wing that has two large 20th-century windows and a central 20th-century door, also painted to imitate timber framing. The property is included for its group value.
