Description
Nos. 33 and 35, known as The Bell, are two houses that form part of a terrace, dating from around 1780 to 1800, with later additions and alterations. Currently, No. 33 functions as a shop with a flat above, while No. 35 operates as a pub. The buildings are constructed of red brick, with stucco applied to the ground floor of No. 35. They feature a plain clay tile roof, with ridge stacks at each end; the left stack has an oversailing detail and pots, while the right stack has been rebuilt. There is some timber-framing visible on the left return, and No. 33 has a timber shopfront.
In terms of layout, No. 33 has a double-depth plan, with the width of the ground floor reduced due to the widening of a through-passage for vehicle access after 1928. It has a central entrance, with a hall and staircase located off the passage on the left. No. 35 also has a double-depth plan, featuring a central lobby and a staircase to the right. The left and right party walls are splayed at an obtuse angle to the front wall. Both buildings are three storeys high and have three first-floor windows arranged in a 1:2 pattern. Notable brick detailing includes a band below the first and second-floor sills of No. 35. The left first-floor window is an 8/12 configuration, while the others are 8/8, all with sills and set in near-flush frames; the first-floor window openings have segmental heads.
No. 33 features a 19th-century shopfront with plain pilasters, fluted console brackets, a fascia, and a cornice. The entrance is recessed to the left, with a panelled door that has a glazed upper section and a pair of small flush-beaded panels below, along with an overlight. There is a 2-pane window to the left of the door, which has a slender round mullion at the corner; the stall riser and window frame to the right of the door have been altered. The entrance to No. 35 is located off-centre to the right and includes paired six-panel bolection-moulded doors and an overlight. To the left of this entrance is a fixed 4-pane window with a shallow transom light, and to the right is an 8/8 sash window. At the rear of No. 33, there is an elm casement window with an iron-framed opening light.
Inside No. 33, there is a staircase with stick balusters and two fireplaces on the upper floor.
