Description
The Black Horse Inn is an 18th-century inn featuring a timber-framed structure with 20th-century pargetting and painted brick. It has a plain tiled roof with a rectangular ridge stack positioned to the left of the center and an additional stack located behind the ridge. To the east, there is a brick and weatherboarded back range topped with a corrugated iron roof. The building stands two stories high and includes a rear outshut and a cellar.
The entrance is located to the left of the center and features a stone step and a flat canopy supported by shaped wooden brackets, leading to a four-panelled door with raised and fielded panels. The inn has three sixteen-paned flush-framed hung sash windows, which are rebated for shutters, along with three smaller similar windows on the first floor. A wrought iron bracket is present for displaying the inn sign. The Black Horse Inn was recorded in 1776.
