Description

Horseshoe Cottage is a cottage dating back to the 17th century, with 18th-century cladding and 20th-century extensions. It is located on Horseshoe Lane in Hurstbourne Tarrant. The south-facing front of the cottage is symmetrical, with two storeys and three windows. A westward extension of one storey and attic, with three windows, adjoins the main body of the cottage.

Other parts of the walls are rendered. Casement windows are present. The cottage has a plain doorway with a French door, sheltered by a wide thatched canopy supported by rustic poles.
