Description

The Old Wagon and Horses is a house, which was once a public house, dating from the early 17th century with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries, and refurbished in 1980. It is constructed of roughly coursed limestone and features a Cotswold stone roof. The building has a plan consisting of two unequal rooms with a staircase between them, an outshut to the right, a gabled scullery wing at the rear, and a small modern gabled extension.

It stands two storeys high with an attic, and the lower storey is situated on falling ground in the outshut to the right. The ground floor includes a three-light casement window, a 19th-century gabled porch, another three-light casement window, and on the first floor, there are similar casements with a single-light window above the porch, along with an additional three-light casement in the outshut. A gabled dormer from the 18th century is present, and the gable stacks have been rebuilt. The casements are modern replicas from 1988, designed to resemble the 19th-century originals. The outshut features two two-light plain chamfered recessed mullioned windows.

Inside, the parlour has quarter-roll-moulded beams and joists, while the kitchen contains a chamfered beam and a large fireplace with an oak lintel. The scullery, now used as a kitchen, reveals a roof truss. The staircase features 18th-century stick balusters, although the treads may be older. Framing is visible in the upper hall, and the principal rafter roof is constructed of large scantling with heavy collars and butt purlins, with rafters halved and pegged at the apex.
