Description

The Cellar Restaurant, formerly known as the 'Old Black Bull' inn, is a building dating from the 17th century that was refronted in the early to mid-19th century, with gables added in the late 19th century. It is constructed of rendered rubble with painted sandstone dressings and has a roof made of stone flags with stone ridge pieces. The structure is a three-cell, two-storey house featuring an axial fireplace located between the first and second bays, along with a gable stack on the right. Each gable has a four-light window with square mullions on the ground floor, and above each is a similar two-light window. In the center, there are two windows with two lights on each floor, and a doorway is positioned to the right.

The interior has undergone significant recent alterations, but it retains 17th-century trusses in the roof, which include a cambered tie beam, king post, and struts. Additionally, two three-light mullioned windows with some oak staves between the chamfered mullions can be seen in the back wall of the upstairs room, along with the altered remains of a 17th-century fireplace featuring chamfered jambs and a lintel. On the ground floor, there is a restored fireplace to the left of the central bay, which has a chamfered lintel supported by corbels.
