Description
The Bull Public House is a public house that dates back to the 17th century or earlier, with later alterations and additions. It features a timber frame and is weatherboarded, topped with a red plain tiled roof that has an outshot at the rear. The building has off-centre external red brick chimney stacks on both the left and right sides. It stands two storeys tall, with a single-storey lean-to on the left and 20th-century flat-roofed extensions on the right.
On the first floor, there are four two-light casement windows with glazing bars and shutters. A large central bull's head is prominently displayed. The ground floor includes right and left angled bays, as well as two central small-paned vertically sliding shutters. There are also panelled doors on the right, left, and central sections, each with top lights. Additionally, there are two casements on the right extension.
