Description
The Horse Shoe Inn is a symmetrical, two-storey inn with three windows on the front and a lower coach house range to the right. It features whitened, rendered masonry beneath slate roofs, with two brick stacks at the ends of the inn and a rough-cast stack at the coach house. The inn has a central entrance with double half-lit doors, each consisting of three panes with margin glazing bars. This entrance is flanked by wide 16-pane hornless sash windows with flat heads and stone sills. The upper storey contains three similar but smaller windows. On the west gable end, there is a small lean-to with a 20th-century window at the front. The coach house has a carriage entrance on the left with a segmental head, and to the right, there is a wide 20th-century opening with a square head, featuring a 'barrel roll' on the floor. The upper storey of the coach house includes two horned sash windows with 12 panes each, and a fragment of a sill band to the right. At the rear, there is a long wing made of rubble masonry with a large brick stack at the end. The east side of this wing has sash windows on the upper storey and 20th-century openings below with flat concrete heads. The interior has been modernised and is now open-plan.
