Bull House

A house, formerly the Bull Inn and now two dwellings, dating from around 1700. The building is constructed of red brick, with painted front and side elevations, and timber-framed and plastered gables to the rear. It has plain tiled roofs. The building has two storeys with attics and cellars, and an irregular double pile plan, with the roof hipped to the street and forming three parallel gables to the rear. A moulded wooden eaves cornice runs along the top, with a band between the floors raised above the former staircase window in the rear elevation, and a plinth at the base. There are ridge stacks to the left of the centre, a side stack to the right hand, and two rear stacks. The symmetrical front facade has five bays. It features a six-panelled door with a wooden doorcase, four flush-framed twelve-paned hung sash windows on the ground floor, and five similar windows on the first floor. There were formerly three hipped dormer windows. The Black Bull Inn, recorded in 1694 and later used for Turnpike Trustee meetings in 1767, became one of Linton's first private schools in 1777.
