Description

The Chestnut Horse Public House is a public house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It has a three-cell plan and stands two storeys tall. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a plaintiled roof that was originally thatched. There are two 19th-century axial chimneys made of red brick. The mid-19th-century windows include small-pane sashes on the ground floor and small-pane casements on the first floor. A single-storey entrance porch, added in the late 19th century, is made of red brick with gault brick bands and features a plaintiled roof and a four-panelled door. There are also two other 19th-century panelled doors. Inside, some unmoulded framing is visible in the bars, and there is evidence of close studding, with believed concealed diamond-mullioned windows. The building was extended to the right by one bay in the 18th or 19th century.
