Description
The Half Moon Inn is an inn that likely dates from the late 18th century. It is constructed from local stone that has been cut and squared, topped with a plain clay tile roof over stone slate base courses, featuring plain gables and brick end chimney stacks. The building stands two storeys high and has three bays. It includes 16-pane sash windows set in segmental arched openings. There is a 20th-century projecting flat-roofed stone porch with side stairs leading to the central bay, and a plain mullioned 2-light basement window located between the first and second bays.
Attached to the west side is a lower two-storey, two-bay wing that was formerly a separate cottage. This wing features 20-light small pane casement windows that are not vertically aligned; the lower windows have exposed timber lintels. There are plain boarded doors beneath a wood lintel between the bays, as well as a similar door in a lean-to structure against the west gable.
The inn was formerly a slaughterhouse, and there is a well located in the extensive cellars, as noted in John A Cross's "A History and Guide Book of Horsington," which is undated.
