Horseshoe Farmhouse

Horseshoe Farmhouse is a 15th-century farmhouse located on Wootton Green, Wilby Road. The front is timber framed and plastered, while the rest of the building is constructed from 19th-century colourwashed brick, likely replacing the original timber frame. The farmhouse has a pantiled roof and is 1½ storeys high, featuring a 3-cell open hall house design. It has mid-20th-century casement windows with imitation diamond-leaded glass throughout, and three gabled dormers, with the central one being larger.

The 19th-century doorway has an architrave surround, frieze, and cornice, and features a four-panel door, with a boarded half-door to the left. Inside, there is an internal stack with a low rendered shaft and a small gable stack to the right. The tie beam of the open truss is intact, showing one visible brace, and it supports a fine octagonal crown-post with a moulded capital and four-way bracing, although the base of the post is not visible. The original rafters are largely intact, along with one sooted end gable wall. A stack has been inserted, likely at the upper end of the open hall. An inserted floor features chamfered joists dating to around 1600, and there is a brick newel stair with wooden treads.
