Description
The building at Church End, formerly known as the Six Bells Public House, dates from around 1500 and the late 18th century. It is a timber-framed and plastered structure that forms an 'L' shaped corner block. The southern-facing section is a two-storey block from the late 18th or early 19th century, featuring a peg tile roof that is gabled to the east and hipped at the west corner, with 20th-century pargetting. On the first floor, there are three double-hung sash windows with moulded surrounds and small panes. The ground floor has two similar windows, flanking an open porch with a pediment supported by 20th-century square replacement columns. This porch contains a pointed arched Gothick fanlight and a door with a lower panel that has exposed St. Andrew's cross bracing. A continuous dentilled cornice runs around the building, extending to the west-facing side, which has a double-hung sash window with small panes on each floor.
The Church Street frontage features a peg tile gabled roof with a lower roofline and an off-centre brick stack. There is some old pargetting on the first floor, along with one bay of exposed timber framing that shows an underbuilt jetty. The first floor includes one two-light 19th-century casement window and a similar double-hung sash window with small panes above a 20th-century door and window. This block has a substantial moulded timber frame consisting of three bays, with no infilling on the two ends. The roof structure includes crown posts with broach stops at the base, double ogee moulded joists with soffit tenons, and a very heavy arched tie beam. The upper three-bay chamber appears to have been open throughout.
