Description
The Bull Hotel is a mid-15th century, two-storey building that features a timber frame and plastered exterior, with a long wall jetty at the front and a red plain tile roof. The frame is exposed at the first floor level, and there have been alterations made in the 19th century. The building includes 17th century chimney stacks with octagonal shafts. Inside, the original crown post roofs are still present, along with moulded beams. The front has a range of four modern casement windows. Additionally, there is a 17th century wing to the southwest of the building.
