Description
Horse Shoe Farm House is a house dating from around 1700, with alterations made in the 19th century. It features a timber frame on a brick base, with panelled pargetted rendering and a tiled roof. The building is L-shaped in plan and has three bays on the front. It stands two storeys high, with a cellar and an attic. The tall brick plinth includes a cellar opening on the right side.
On the ground floor, there are steps leading up to a central entrance that has a 19th-century pedimented architrave. Flanking the entrance are tripartite sash windows set in moulded flush frames, while similar sash windows with glazing bars are found on the first floor. The eaves cornice is timber and features modillions. There are end stacks that are slightly extruded with offsets, an attic casement window to the left, and first-floor casements to the right, above a weatherboarded lean-to outshut.
At the rear, the house has a mix of sash windows and some original three-light casements with thin ovolo moulded mullions. There is a catslide roof over a lean-to stair turret located at the centre of the rear. To the right at the rear is the original kitchen wing, which includes some weatherboarding and a hip roof at the back, as well as a cross axial ridge stack and a catslide roof over a lean-to outshut on the right end that continues from the front. Inside, the house features ovolo moulded axial bearers and a 19th-century staircase.
