Description
The Coach and Horses Inn is a public house dating from the early 16th century, with extensions made in the 18th and 19th centuries, along with various alterations over time. It features a timber frame with painted render and an end-gabled tiled roof, complemented by a tall brick stack on the front roof slope. The main structure consists of an early 16th-century timber-framed range with three structural bays visible at the first-floor level, along with additions at the rear and a long wing added in the 19th century at the right-hand gable end.
The building is two storeys high, with a single-storey wing to the right. The front of the main block has a continuous first-floor jetty supported by knee-brackets at each end. The ground floor appears to have been rebuilt and rendered, featuring a doorway on the left flanked by two-light fixed windows, and a similar three-light fixed window on the right. The jettied first floor is rendered, showcasing timber-framing painted black, with infill panels painted white, indicating three bays defined by storey posts. Each bay contains two intermediate posts, with curved tension braces at the outer corners and straight tension braces on the intermediate posts, likely representing the original framing preserved beneath the render. In the center of each bay, there are pairs of casements with leaded lights. The right-hand end-gable displays similar painted framing that suggests close studs and a collar tie.
On the front of the long, single-storey, end-gabled wing to the right, there is a central doorway, with widely spaced two-light timber-framed cross windows featuring rectangular leadlight casements on either side. The interior has 19th and 20th-century linings and fittings on the ground floor, while the first floor has not been inspected.
