Description
The Coach and Horses Inn is a public house and dwelling that consists of two houses, dating from the 17th century, with elements of an earlier dwelling likely incorporated. The building features colourwashed render over cob and stone, topped with a gabled thatch roof and rendered stone ridge and end stacks.
The house on the right, now functioning as the pub, has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys high with a two-window range. It has a central porch with a 20th-century door and flat rendered arches over late 19th or early 20th-century two-light casements. There is a continuous 18th-century outshut with a slate roof at the rear.
The house on the left has a three-unit plan with an entry at the service end to the left. It also stands two storeys high and features a three-window range. This house has a porch with a 20th-century door and flat rendered arches over 20th-century two-light casements, except for a late 19th-century two-light casement at the top right. There is a 20th-century extension and a 19th-century outshut at the rear.
Inside the left house, the central room has a chamfered bressummer with elaborate cyma-moulded stops above an open fireplace that includes a cloam oven. It also features a 19th-century straight-flight staircase and an early 18th-century two-panelled door to the right, along with a 19th-century plank door on the first floor. The 17th-century A-frame roof has largely been replaced due to rot.
In the right house, the room to the left has a remodelled open fireplace with a late 19th-century cast-iron door leading to a bread oven. There is a reset 17th-century plank door to the room on the right, which contains 17th-century chamfered joists and a 19th-century plank front to the fireplace. The first floor has two 17th-century A-frame trusses.
