Description
Hornbeam House and Tearoom is a building that consists of former outbuildings and stables, dating from the 18th century to early 19th century, with parts possibly from the late medieval period. It was converted and extended in the late 20th century. The structure is made of coursed squared marlstone and rubble, featuring ashlar dressings, and has a Stonesfield-slate roof with a limestone-ashlar gable stack. The building forms an L-shaped range linked to a single unit around a courtyard.
The west range includes the former coach house entrance, a doorway, and a three-light casement window, while the south gable wall has a two-light stone-mullioned window. The south range, which was previously open fronted, is now infilled. A 20th-century range on the east connects to a single-unit rubble building with gable parapets and a stack, likely a former bakehouse. The entrance features an early 18th-century chamfered stone surround with a projecting keyblock, and there are three small lattice windows with chamfered surrounds, two of which open into the former open fireplace. The gable wall window has a label. The building may have early origins and contains a large ashlar bread oven. It was formerly associated with the Falkland Arms.
