Description

No. 1 Bull Ring is a terraced house that has been converted into a dentists' surgery. It was built around 1800 and has undergone later additions and alterations. The building features red brick above a blue brick plinth, with stone sills and stone dressings on the rear range. It has a plain clay tile roof with painted dentilled eaves. There are stacks on the left rear roof slope and at the ridge-end on the right, both with oversailing details and pots. The entrance has a timber doorcase and a wrought-iron balconette.

The layout is double-depth with a central hallway, although it was originally single-depth. The house has three storeys and a cellar. There are three windows on both the first and second floors, with the central window on each floor being blind and painted to look like a sash. The left first-floor window is a 6/6 sash, while the right is a tripartite window with three 1/1 sashes. The second-floor windows are 3/3 sashes. On the ground floor, the left window is a 6/6 sash, and the right features a canted bay with a configuration of 2/2:6/6:2/2. All windows, except for the bay, have near-flush frames with sills and flat gauged-brick arches.

There are two roll-edged stone steps leading to the off-centre left entrance, which has a six-panel door that is raised and fielded, along with a three-pane overlight. The entrance is flanked by incised pilasters and a cornice. The left return of the building has a semi-circular bay on the ground floor, with the bottom sashes renewed and a 6/6 sash above that has a balconette. A later parallel range projects to the left at the rear, ending in a three-sided apsidal shape with 1/1 sashes.

Inside, the building retains original joinery details, including five-panel doors, architraves, skirtings, dado and picture rails. The staircase features slender turned balusters. Historical records indicate that the curved bay on the left return and the rear range were already in place by 1886, as shown on the First-Edition OS Map.
