Description
The Black Horse Inn is a 17th-century house that has been converted into an inn, now incorporating two cottages on the right side. It is constructed from squared, coursed lias and limestone, topped with a thatched roof and brick ridge stacks. The building has one storey plus an attic and features a two-window range with a two-unit, through-passage plan.
At the center, there is a six-panelled door with a wooden lintel, set within a 20th-century stone porch. To the right, there is a small canted bay with 20th-century casements, while to the left, a 18th-century sixteen-pane sash window with a hood mould and label stops from a former mullioned window can be found, along with 20th-century shutters. The first floor has a 19th-century three-light casement window in an eyebrow dormer on both the left and right sides. Each of the small cottages on the right features a 19th-century plank door with a chamfered wooden lintel, and to the left, there is a 19th-century two-light casement, with 20th-century casements in the center and right, all having wooden lintels and 20th-century shutters. The attic includes 19th-century eyebrow dormers on the right side, and there has been 20th-century brick rebuilding at the rear.
Inside the main part of the inn, there are stone flagged floors, chamfered spine beams with stepped stops, and an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer. In the cottage to the right, there is an 18th-century turned baluster staircase with one straight flight.
