Description
The Horse and Groom Public House is a public house located in Old Hatfield, with a red brick casing from the 18th century, which has been painted. The building has a timber-framed structure that dates back to the 17th century or earlier. There is a 19th-century addition to the north with one window. The building stands two storeys high and features a steep plain tile roof with a 19th-century chimney stack where the roof line changes level. A floor band is present, and there are four regularly spaced first-floor glazing bar sash windows. The ground floor has mid to late 19th-century sash windows and a 19th-century door positioned towards the left, which is adorned with cut brackets and a moulded hood. The rear elevation includes two small attic dormers and a square outbuilding to the south, constructed of red brick and part-timber framing, topped with a pyramid machine tile roof.
