Description
The Bull Hotel is an inn, likely with a 16th-century core and a front that was rebuilt in the later 18th century. The front is painted stucco, with brick and timber-frame construction, and has a late 20th-century plain tile roof. A late 19th-century brick stack stands on the right side, and another is at the rear. The front is three storeys high and has a two-window range. The windows on the second floor are late 19th-century sashes, with two panes divided by two, and six panes divided by six. Above those are two-pane sashes over an altered window to the far left. A storey band is present, along with banded and molded eaves and coping to the parapet.
A courtyard to the right has 20th-century plank folding doors, and exposed ceiling beams. A 19th-century entrance to the smoke room features etched glass. To the left, a 19th-century window has a two-over-six upper sash over leaded lower sections.
Above the rear passage is a 16th-century jettied timber-frame with a mutilated lower frame and a studded bressummer. Above that is an 18th-century canted oriel with enriched consoles, and a small 20th-century casement to the right. Above this is a 19th-century loading platform and a 20th-century plank door, which obscures the enriched consoles of a probable oriel, beneath a further enriched bressummer. A weather-boarded gable has a pulley joist and a 20th-century light.
A parallel gable continues as a two-storey rear range dating back to around 1415, consisting of five bays under a 20th-century plain tile roof. This section has a four-window range of three early 19th-century casements, one 20th-century casement to the right, and plank loft doors to the far right. The rear range is partially plastered and partially weather-boarded, with 19th and 20th-century doors and lattice leaded casements set into mainly 19th and 20th-century brickwork set within a mutilated timber-frame. It is jettied with coved brackets to massive main beams. A 20th-century wrought-iron sign hanger is also present.
