The Six Bells And Former Stables To Rear

The Six Bells is a house that has been converted into an inn with stabling, originally built in the 17th century and remodelled in the mid to late 19th century. The structure is timber framed, although mostly rebuilt in limestone rubble and finished with stucco that is incised to resemble ashlar. It features a slate roof with a catslide over an outshut at the rear. The building is L-shaped, with two storeys and an attic.

The front has three mid- to late-19th century gabled dormers, each with 2-light casements. There are semi-integral end stacks with brick top stages and a tall lateral brick stack at the rear. The façade has three windows, which are mid- to late-19th century wooden casements with thin mullions and transoms. The central entrance is a boarded door with a late 19th century gabled porch that projects onto the pavement.

To the right, there is a late 19th century hipped-roofed addition that has one 2-light casement on each floor. Inside, there are remains of the original timber frame. The rear wing, also late 19th century, is made of painted brick with a slate roof and has two lateral brick stacks on the north side, along with late 19th century casements.

Adjoining to the west are the stables, constructed in the late 19th century from coursed limestone rubble with a slate roof, which steps up the slope. This structure has two storeys, featuring two first-floor boarded loft doors, two ground-floor boarded doors, and an off-centre window to the left. There is also a late 19th century one-storey brick addition to the left of the stables.
