Horseshoe Cottage

Horseshoe Cottage is a small cottage, probably from the 18th century. It is constructed of plastered stone rubble or cob, with a stone rubble or brick stack topped with 19th and 20th-century brick, and has a thatch roof with corrugated iron on the outshot. The cottage has two rooms and faces north, featuring a left (east) end stack and likely a secondary service outshot at the back. The ground floor rooms have been combined into one space. The main cottage is two storeys high and has a symmetrical two-window front. The ground floor windows are 19th-century casements with glazing bars, while the first-floor windows are 20th-century casements without glazing bars. The central entrance has a 19th-century plank door with an inserted window and a 20th-century open porch with a hipped thatch roof. The roof is half-hipped at each end. The right (west) end wall has a secondary 20th-century door with a similar porch and a 20th-century window next to it. This window and the one in the door contain late 19th-century leaded glass featuring painted representations of the seasons in Art Nouveau style. Although they have been reset, they are said to belong to the cottage. The interior shows mainly the results of 19th and 20th-century modernisations, with no original carpentry detail exposed. The fireplace has been rebuilt in the 20th century.
