Three Horseshoes

The Three Horseshoes is a cottage dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed of brick, flint, and clunch arranged in bands, and features a thatched roof. The building is single storey with an attic, originally designed with a two-bay lobby entry plan and a one-bay outbuilding at the north end, which was raised to form a third bay in the 19th century. The central door has been blocked, and the current entrance is located in a 19th-century single storey structure at the north end, which was formerly a smithy and has been extensively rebuilt. The cottage has a cogged string course, 19th-century timber casement windows, and one late 20th-century ground floor window. The thatch extends over three dormers and the roof is half-hipped. The cottage has been extended into the former smithy and was once an alehouse known as the Three Horseshoes.
