Description

The Bull Hotel is a 18th century building with an older core, located on Crouch Street. It features a timber-framed structure and has been treated as a public house in the 19th century on the ground floor. The ground floor includes two canted bays and a carriage arch, all of which are faced with tiles, while the upper part is rendered and painted. On the first floor, there are five windows, four of which are sashes with glazing bars and shouldered architrave surrounds, along with an oriel bay window above the entrance door. The building has a parapet and a tiled roof.

Bull Hotel sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 670 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 51% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 83% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
