Description

The Bell Inn is a public house dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. It is constructed with a timber frame, now roughcast rendered, and has a gable end of painted brick. The roof is thatched. The inn is of single storey plus attic height, with 2-light and 3-light casement windows and two doorways, each containing a 4-panel door. There are three gabled dormers. Later extensions to the rear feature pantile roofing and flat roofing.
