Description
The Bell Public House is a public house built in the early 19th century, with an extension added in the late 19th century. It features red and yellow chequered brick, with later sections made of red brick, and has slate roofs. The building is two storeys high and borders the road, with a later addition on the right that extends along Woburn Lane.
On the ground floor, there are four sash windows with glazing bars, three of which are tripartite. The first floor has four 2-light casements with glazing bars and one tripartite sash with glazing bars. All windows are set under gauged brick flat arches. The doorway has a part-glazed door topped by a rectangular fanlight, supported by engaged slender elliptical columns that hold up a cornice hood. There is also a square-headed carriage arch on the left with a 20th-century lintel. The building is included for its group value.
