Description

The Cock Horse Public House and the adjoining cottage to the northwest are notable buildings that date from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The public house features a brick ground floor, part painted, and a first floor that is tile-hung with alternating bands of plain and fishscale tiles, topped with a plain tile roof. It has two storeys and a cellar. The left section, dating from the 18th century, is lower than the rest and has a hipped roof on the left, a rear brick stack, and a three-light casement window on the first floor. There is a large brick lean-to on the front elevation, and the left return wing is weatherboarded.

The central section, built in the late 19th century, projects to the front and has a hipped roof facing the road, complete with a weathervane. It contains two large casement windows on the first floor and a half-glazed door in the right corner. Behind this section, there is possibly an earlier part of the building that has a roof parallel to the road, sloping slightly down to meet the left section. The right end of the roof connects to a cross-wing, which slightly projects and has a hipped roof facing the road, along with one three-light casement window.

The adjoining cottage, dating from the 17th century, is timber-framed with the ground floor underbuilt in painted brick and a rendered first floor between the studs, topped with a plain tile roof. It is a single storey with approximately two timber-framed bays and five widely spaced studs between the end posts. The cottage has two very small casement windows, a hipped roof to the left, and a large projecting stack on a stone base at the right gable. There is also a brick lean-to on the left and a weatherboarded rear elevation with an off-centre plank door to the left.
