The Old Bull

The Old Bull is a house that has been converted into a public house. It dates from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and 20th century. The building features a timber frame with painted brick and rendered infill set on a stone plinth, topped by a tile roof. It has an L-shaped plan, with sections extending to the north and east.

The east/west range consists of three framed bays, with a gable-end stack on the east side that has two diamond plan brick shafts, and a larger stack at the east of the west bay flanked by two diamond plan shafts and a square shaft. The north front has one storey with an attic, which is lit by two gabled dormers and a gable window in the right projecting wing. There are three plus three windows: a 3-light casement to the left, paired single-light casements to the right, and three more in a triplet in the wing. The main range has a roughly central entrance with a ledged two-leaf door. There is a lean-to against the left of the cross-wing that has another two-leaf door, and a lean-to at the extreme right with a door in the left wall.

The framing originally consisted of three square panels high with straight angle braces. The cross-wing gable features two struts to the collar with V-struts in the apex.
