Description
The Bell Public House is a timber-frame building with a brick front, dating from the early to mid-17th century to the rear, and a later front range from the late 18th or early 19th century. It has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is L-shaped on plan and has a tiled roof to the rear and a hipped slate roof to the front.
The rear range, to the right, is three bays. A central entrance has been built into what was an extruded stack cut at the eaves. The rear has 2 and 3-light 20th-century flush casements. The right gable end shows exposed timber framing with brick infill, featuring a jowled post to the south, a curved tie beam, struts to the collar, and an external stack with a rebuilt cap. A catslide roof extends over a continuous lean-to outshut to the original rear.
The front range, to the left and at a right angle, is three windows wide, with a central entrance bay. The ground floor has flanking canted bays. The first floor has recessed 20th-century casements. Boxed eaves are present. An extruded stack is at the right end, and a single-story lean-to outshut is on the left end.
The interior features ground floor stop-chamfered bearers that have been reset, along with exposed wattle and daub panels. The first floor was not inspected.
