Description
The Old Black Bull Public House is a public house built around 1900. It is constructed of brick with a facing of green glazed terracotta at the ground floor and features applied black-and-white "half-timbering" above, topped with a slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in a Tudor style, standing three storeys over a cellar.
The facade is symmetrical with three windows and includes a slightly jettied second floor and a gable adorned with barge-boards and a finial. The ground floor features a wide elliptical-arched window in the center, surrounded by an enriched dark green frame that includes imposts and a keystone, along with a yellow apron displaying raised red and green lettering that reads "THE OLD BLACK BULL." There are also flanking doorways with segmental-pedimented architraves made of the same material, which include panelled pilasters and scrolled brackets.
On the upper floors, there are wooden mullioned windows. The first floor has a shallow canted 10-light transomed oriel window on brackets in the center, flanked by cross-windows with small arcades beneath. The second floor features 2, 3, and 2-light windows with an ornamental splat-balustrade below. The gable is supported by a bressummer and pegged fish-bone struts. A painted inn-sign hangs from a prominent scrolled wrought-iron bracket at the second floor. The interior has been altered.
