Description
Horbatt House is a house with a chapel, now functioning solely as a house. It dates from the early 19th century and has undergone alterations in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of brown brick in English bond and features a blue slate roof. It stands two storeys tall, with four bays and is one and a half rooms deep. The third bay has a 20th-century glazed door with an overlight, and there is a 20th-century glazed lean-to porch. To the left, there is a round-headed archway that is now covered by a 20th-century lean-to greenhouse. The house has sash windows with glazing bars set in flush wood architraves, and there is a blind window above the door. Windows and the door have incised splayed lintels. There are end stacks and a ridge stack located between the first and second bays.
The rear elevation features a blocked first-floor doorway on the right, which has the remnants of an external stair. The right return has 20th-century ground-floor windows and shows evidence of raised eaves. Inside, the entrance leads into a narrow hall with original doors in reeded architraves that have paterae, leading to rooms on the left and right. The left room has a narrow reeded architrave and paterae around the window, with similar mouldings on the fireplace. The right room features recesses with reeded surrounds flanking the fireplace. The hall includes a round-arched opening that leads to the staircase against the rear wall. On the first floor, there is a 19th-century inserted doorway with a six-panel door leading into the end room on the left. The left bay on the first floor was used as a Methodist Chapel until a new church was built to the east of the house around 1892. This room reportedly had no internal access and was reached by going through the front left archway to the external stairs at the rear.
