Homes in Horsley

Horsley was made a conservation area in 1994. Its listed buildings include Grange Cottage, a sandstone house from the mid-1700s, and Castle Farmhouse from the early 1800s, with the Sophia fountain of 1869 in the village. Horsley Woodhouse, up the hill, was a nail-making village in the 1830s. Several older buildings there have been replaced or turned into homes, such as the former Jolly Colliers pub and the farm that became Hollies Farm Drive. In sandstone cottages cables go under floors and through lofts. In pub and farm conversions the wiring often dates from the conversion.
