Description
The Old Brewhouse is an 18th-century cottage that may have originally served as an inn and was later used as a brewhouse for the Three Horseshoes Inn. It was restored as an annexe to the inn in 1992. The building is constructed of whitewashed rubble stone and features a long-straw thatched roof with whitewashed stone end stacks, the northern stack being larger. The front has two small windows and a central stable door, all with timber lintels. There is a lean-to on the northern end and a broad rear wall opening with 20th-century double doors. Inside, the cottage retains gorse underthatch that is smoke-blackened, along with three collar trusses that have pegged joints. At the northern end, there is a large chamfered timber lintel above a broad fireplace, which has a later inserted iron vat set in a brick base and a bread oven. At the southern end, there is a small fireplace.
