The Old White Horse

The Old White Horse is a house that was formerly an inn, built in 1905 for the Earl of Ellesmere by architect C.F.A. Voysey. It features a free style design with roughcast render on buttressed brick walls and limestone dressings. The roof is flared hipped with plain tiles, and there are slender iron brackets supporting the gutters. The building is one storey with an attic and has an L-plan layout. A rear wing extends as a loggia that connects to stables to the south-west, forming a courtyard.

The main facade faces north-east and consists of four 'bays', with the central 'bays' featuring a gabled facade and a hipped dormer window on the left. The entrance was originally through a recessed open porch supported by braced wooden posts, but this has been recently infilled with small-paned glazed doors and fixed windows. There are two attic windows and three ground floor windows, which are casements with six, five, and four leaded lights, all with plain limestone mullions and architraves.

To the north-east, there is a wall and double gated entrance to the courtyard, along with an opposing arched entrance topped with a flared hipped roof. The interior has largely remained unaltered and includes features such as a staircase, panelling, inglenook hearths, and rounded arches at the openings.
