Description
The Bell Public House is a 17th-century establishment that underwent alterations in the early 18th century and was extended at the rear in the 19th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, topped with a hipped red tile roof. The building has two storeys and two windows on the east-facing side, presenting a symmetrical front with a black plinth and panelled pargetting, which has been renewed. The low sash windows are set flush, with a 3/3 configuration on the first floor and a 4/4 configuration below. A central panelled door is framed by a simple pilastered surround, complete with a full entablature and a flat hood. Internally, there is a gable chimney on the south side and a rear corner chimney on the north side. The rear extension is made of red brick and is two storeys high, while a 20th-century single-storey red brick and tile extension is set back on the south side.
