Description
The Bull's Head Inn is an early 18th-century building that has been altered and extended over time. It is constructed of red brick, featuring an ashlar plinth and quoins of unequal length. The roof is made of plain tiles with coped verges, and there are brick stacks at the ends. The building is oriented north-east to south-west and has extensions to the south-east. It stands two storeys high with a gable-lit attic, a storey band, and coved eaves. The façade includes three windows with casements that have segmental heads; the ground floor windows have been widened. There are also four small 20th-century attic windows. A central 20th-century door is topped by a bracketed segmental arched hood from the 18th century. Inside, the inn features chamfered and stopped ceiling beams.
