Three Horseshoes Cottage

Three Horseshoes Cottage is a house from the 17th century that was raised to two storeys in the late 18th or early 19th century. It has a timber frame covered in roughcast, with a slated roof and a red tiled roof over the rear kitchen, as well as a red pantiled roof on the rear lean-to. The cottage has a two-storey, two-cell layout with an internal chimney and a lobby entry, facing west. There is a lean-to at the north end, a gabled closed porch, and a single-storey gabled kitchen at the northeast, which is linked to a two-storey timber-framed stable from the mid-19th century that is now covered with a corrugated iron roof. The small parlour at the south end is probably unheated. The west front features two windows on each floor and a porch in the middle, with three-light flush casement windows. The lean-to on the north end has a sash window with six panes. Inside, there are exposed timbers, including a jowled post at the northwest corner and a face-halved bladed scarf joint in the former rear wallplate by the stair, indicating that the house was originally one and a half storeys before being raised. There is a chamfered and stopped axial beam supporting the floor over the hall, with squared joists. A winding stair is located behind the chimney, and there is an old plank door with iron fittings.
