Description
The Bull Public House is a house, dating from circa 1600, and altered in the 20th century. It is timber-framed with plaster rendering and a roof covered in handmade red clay tiles. The building has four bays facing south, with an axial stack located in the second bay from the left end. A two-storey extension forms a parallel range at the rear right corner. Single-storey extensions of various dates are visible along the remainder of the rear and at the right end.
The ground floor features one 19th-century casement window and two 20th-century casements. The first floor has three 19th-century casement windows. There are two plain boarded doors, each with a 20th-century hood supported by profiled brackets. Inside, there are chamfered axial and transverse beams, and plain joists of horizontal section.
