Description

The Coach and Horses Public House is a building that has been uniformly roughcast and features a natural slate roof. It consists of two linked sections, with the right-hand section likely added later. Both sections have a double depth plan, but their fronts do not align.

The main part on the left is two storeys high and has three windows. The lower windows are early 20th century plate glass sashes of varying sizes and levels, accompanied by a modern central door without architrave. The upper floor features 6 over 6 pane sash windows with external shutters. The roof is steeply pitched and plain, with red brick gable stacks.

To the right, there is a three-storey wing, although the ground floor is mostly blind except for a carriage arch on the right. The first floor has two windows with 6 over 6 pane sashes and external shutters, while the second floor has two small 3 over 3 pane sash windows. The ridge line of this wing is lower than that of the main section, resulting in a lower pitch, although the eaves line remains the same. There is a small stack on the right gable.

At the rear, the building displays a red sandstone rubble back wall and features a small central 2-light dormer.

Inside, the ground floor, which was once divided into two rooms with a central hall, is now a single bar space with a staircase rising at the rear right. There are five large, long cross-beams that are roughly chamfered and lack stops. The north wall is notable for a large late 16th century fireplace, which has an enormous lintel stone and hollow chamfered jambs. The upper floors have not been observed.
