Bull'S Head Public House

The Bull's Head Public House is likely of late 16th-century origin, with extensions dating to around 1700. It was remodelled in the early 19th century and further altered around 1900. The building is timber-framed, with plastered and painted brick infill, some rendered areas, and portions refaced or rebuilt in red brick. It has plain tile roofs, hipped at the centre, and a slate roof to the rear. The framing is arranged in square panels. The rear wing incorporates much reused timber.

The building is in an L-shape, comprising a single timber-framed bay and a two-bay cross wing flush to the front, with a later wing to the rear. It has three storeys, with a two-storey wing to the left. A rendered plinth and a dentil brick eaves cornice are visible. The ridge stack on the left-hand wing dates to around 1900, with an integral lateral brick stack at the rear. A lateral brick stack is also visible at the rear of the rear wing.

The tall right-hand part of the building features a second-floor boxed glazing bar sash with a painted stone sill, and segmental-headed first- and ground-floor 20th-century wooden casements, also with painted stone sills. A 6-panelled door, with lower panels being beaded flush and a rectangular overlight, is set within a large doorcase featuring consoles supporting a flat hood. The lower left-hand section contains a pair of first-floor 8-pane boxed glazing bar sashes and a pair of ground-floor segmental-headed 20th-century wooden casements, all with painted stone sills. The left-hand gable end was rebuilt around 1900. A jettied first floor is supported by a moulded bressumer on three fluted brackets, with a pair of first-floor 2-light wooden casements and decorative diagonal framing in the gable.

At the rear, there is a lean-to addition and a raking dormer window. A gable on the rear of the taller part contains a collar and tie-beam truss with queen struts. The rear wing, dating to around 1700, features a gable end with a first-floor glazing bar sash and a collar and tie-beam truss with queen struts and V-struts.

Internally, the right-hand ground-floor room likely features a reset large ceiling beam with billet ornament, along with the remains of a carved ornament previously above it; mortices indicate its former position. There is a former fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel to the left. The left-hand ground-floor room has a deep-chamfered ceiling beam and plain joists. Exposed framing is visible in the right-hand first-floor room, with chamfered reveals to each square panel. The former location of the ornamented ground-floor beam is unknown, but its ornamentation suggests it may have formed part of a screen or canopy.
