Description
Three Horseshoes Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with later additions. The ground floor is constructed of brick, while the first floor is rough cast over what is likely a timber frame, all finished with a colour wash. The roof is made of old clay tiles and has an L-plan shape, with a hipped corner. A central red brick double ridge stack, rebuilt in a 17th-century style, serves a back-to-back hearth. The building has two storeys, and the bay at the west end features a shallower-pitched roof and an external red brick chimney stack. There is a 19th-century single-storey brick extension to the east, a single-storey lean-to extension at the rear of the south wing, and a 20th-century two-storey extension at the north gable end.
The main block has two 2-light horizontal sash windows with glazing bars on the ground floor, along with a four-panel front door accessed by three steps to the right. The first floor includes a 2-light casement window, a single fixed light, and a 3-light casement, all featuring glazing bars. The east extension has two 2-light horizontal sashes under cambered heads and a dentil cornice at the eaves.
