Description

The Bear's Paw Public House is a public house that likely dates from the early 18th century and was remodeled in the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick in Flemish bond, painted white, with sandstone dressings painted black, and features a slate roof. The building has a double-depth, double-fronted plan with extensions at the back. It stands two low storeys high and has four windows.

On the ground floor, there is a central elliptical-headed doorway with a doorcase that includes two engaged columns, which have capitals adorned with swags, square abaci, entablatures featuring ovals and flowers, a fluted frieze, and a cavetto moulded head. To the left of the doorway is an altered window, and to the right is an enlarged window, while there are round-headed doorways at each end, with the one on the left being blocked. The windows have raised sills and wedge lintels, with the first window on the ground floor and the third and fourth windows on the first floor being sashed, while the others have been altered.

Inside, the public house features early 18th-century chamfered beams with run-out stops.
