Bull Ring Cottage

Bull Ring Cottage, which includes No. 1 High Street, is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with a date inscribed as 16--. It has undergone later alterations. The building is constructed from regularly coursed limestone with large quoins, and the plinth is faced in blue brick. It features a 20th-century tile roof and a brick ridge stack that has a dogtooth cornice and two large square shafts set diagonally from the 19th century.

The cottage has a lobby-entry L-plan, with the wing forming No. 1 High Street. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a four-window range. The third bay contains an early to mid-19th century six-panelled door with panelled reveals set in a moulded wood surround, topped with a hood on shaped brackets. The windows are three-light casements with horizontal glazing bars throughout, and there is a similar two-light casement above the door. The building features painted wood lintels, and the right return side facing High Street has a splayed plinth. A 19th-century two-light casement on the first floor has a brick segmental arch above it. The datestone displays a shield panel within a moulded frame, and there is an old three-light casement in the attic.

No. 1 High Street incorporates part of an early 19th-century outbuilding and has a slate roof with a two-window range, a recessed four-panelled door, late 20th-century windows, and brick segmental arches. There is also a 20th-century box dormer on the right.

Inside, the cottage features back-to-back open fireplaces. The room on the right has an ogee stop-chamfered bressumer above the fireplace and a moulded shelf, with a late 20th-century stone insert. It also has a broad chamfered ceiling beam. The room on the left has a similar bressumer but lacks a shelf or insert, featuring a run-out broad chamfered ceiling beam and a timber-framed partition wall. A 19th-century straight flight staircase with winders leads to the first floor, which has timber-framed partitions and old floorboards. The attic contains an old plank door and a trenched purl in a queen strut roof.
