Description
The Old Horse and Groom is a former public house, now a dwelling, dated 1660 in the eastern dormer gable. It features a pebble-dashed timber frame, with one colour-washed brick gable end and a thatched roof. The building has one storey with an attic and displays irregular fenestration. There are two 19th-century three-light casements with horizontal glazing bars, a three-light mullion and transom window with a metal casement, and a 20th-century gabled porch on the ground floor. The structure includes a small central dormer with a 19th-century casement, as well as two gabled dormers with ovolo-moulded three-light mullion windows that have later casements. There are small blocked windows with rectangular hood-moulds flanking the stack at the crow-stepped gable end, along with an off-centre axial stack.
