Description
The Bull Public House is a house, dating to around 1700, with an additional north-west wing and stable added in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond with random blue bricks; the front is roughcast and painted on the south end. The north-west wing is weatherboarded, and all have steep red tile roofs. The original plan consisted of two rooms, two storeys and attics, with end chimneys and a central entrance, set back from the road and facing east.
The front facade has gable parapets with raking brick courses under decorative 19th-century ridge tiles, a flat-topped dormer in the roof, three two-light casement windows to the first floor, and two three-light transomed casement windows to the ground floor, with a platband stepping up over the central door. A small, gabled, roughcast and tiled porch is positioned at the centre. Shallow vertical recesses sit between shallow square chimney shafts. A single-storey gabled extension is set back to the north end, and a slated lean-to extends to the rear. The north-west rear wing has two storeys and two windows, with internal chimneys at each gable, and a lower stable at the west end.
Inside, the main range contains two rooms, with access to the south end of the north room. There are axial chamfered beams with run-out stops, and an original fireplace with canted corners survives in the south room, along with a staircase.
