Description
Three Horseshoes Farmhouse is a cottage that was formerly a public house, dating from the 17th century, with a rear extension added in the late 17th century. A cellar was added in the 19th century at the northeast end. The building is timber framed, plaster rendered, and has a long straw thatch roof with half hipped sections. It features a ridge stack and is one storey with an attic, including one eyebrow dormer and one full gable dormer. There are four ground floor windows, one of which has a 19th-century iron casement, along with a baffle entry doorway. The kitchen wing, likely added in the late 17th to 18th century, has undergone significant alterations and is also thatched. This wing was extended on the southwest side in 1939. Inside, there is heavy ceiling framing in two bays at the south end of the main range, with back-to-back hearths and broad stop-chamfered main beams.
