Description

No. 135 High Street is a house that was formerly known as the Three Horseshoes Public House. It dates from the late 17th century and has an assembly room extension added around 1873. The building is timber framed and roughcast rendered on a brick plinth, topped with a steeply pitched tiled roof and a ridge stack that was rebuilt in the 19th century. It has a three-bay lobby entry plan with a service range at the rear, and it stands two storeys tall.

On the first floor, there are two small hung sash windows from the 19th century, along with two raised plaster panels that have shaped corners and moulded edges, one of which is located above the doorway to the lobby entry. There is one hung sash window on either side of the doorway. The rear range of the building is also from the 17th century and is similarly framed and rendered, with a tiled roof, one storey and an attic, and features one dormer.

The assembly rooms are likely from the same period as the coach-house and stables, which have a date stone inscribed with three horseshoes and the year 1873. These structures are built of gault brick with a slate roof and a dentil eaves cornice, and they are two storeys high.

Inside the late 17th-century house, the framing is exposed on the first floor, although the inglenook hearths have been blocked. The assembly rooms still retain some original features, including panelling, coat pegs, and sliding partition walls on the ground floor.
