Description
The Bell is an 18th-century public house. The southern range is constructed of brick and flint, while the northern range is timber framed with rendered wattle and daub and clay jump infill. The roofs are pantiled, with corrugated tiles on the rear section. The building has a baffle entry plan. All ground floor windows are currently boarded over. A door is located in the northern range. Three 19th-century casement windows are present on the first floor, and the south side has a dentilled eaves cornice. The roofs are gabled, with a central ridge stack.
