Description
The Chestnut Horse Public House is a public house that dates back to the 17th century, with two 18th-century hipped bays added to the side and further extended in the 19th century. The 17th-century road end bay was rebuilt in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame with brick infill, with some areas half colourwashed and others rendered, and has an old plain tile and slate roof.
The structure consists of three bays and a smoke bay from the 17th century, positioned end on to the road. The 18th-century hipped bays are added to the side, and two 19th-century bays are added to the end of the 18th-century bay that is closer to the road. The road bay, which is timber-framed, was rebuilt in the 20th century with plaster infill. The remaining 17th-century bays on the far side have exposed timber framing.
The road elevation is two storeys high, featuring a projecting right bay that has been rebuilt with timber framing and brick, alongside three bays of the 18th-century wing to the left, with the right bay being the earlier one, characterized by incised render. The right bay has 20th-century three-light casements on each floor and two-light casements on the side. At the junction between the two parts, there is a corner hipped hood on brackets, which shelters two wide top-glazed doors underneath. Next to the door in the earlier 18th-century bay is a two-light casement with a 12-pane flush framed sash above. The left two bays contain a four-panel top-glazed door with a flat hood and a two-light casement on each side and above. The right gable has a hipped roof, while the right bay of the wing has a low-pitched slate roof, and there is a large ridge stack above the junction.
