Description
Horseshoe House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with an extension built around 1800 to the rear. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a gabled stone slate roof, and stone ridge and end stacks. The building follows a “T” plan. The front elevation has two storeys and a four-window range. Timber lintels are above the window openings; the central ground floor window is a 20th-century fixed casement with glazing bars, and the first-floor windows are 19th-century two-light casements with glazing bars. A two-light leaded casement window is present in the right-hand gable. The main entrance is to the rear. The three-storey rear wing has a Welsh slate roof and a brick end stack, and contains an 8-pane sash window and a three-light leaded casement. The interior features lightly chamfered beams, open fireplaces with wood bressumers to the right, and a 19th-century straight-flight staircase to the rear. The house was formerly known as The Three Horseshoes Public House.
