Description
Bugs Bar is a house and restaurant with accommodation above, built as a single three-cell house in the early to mid 16th century. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring a timber-framed structure that is pebble-dashed. It has a plaintiled roof with axial chimneys made of red brick and flat-roofed 19th-century dormers with small-pane casements.
On the first storey, there are 19th-century sash windows with large panes. The ground storey of No. 95 has an 18th or early 19th-century mullioned and transomed window, while Bugs Bar features a pair of flat-roofed splayed bays with similar windows. The entrance doors are 19th-century and consist of six panels. To the far left, there is a carriage entrance beyond the original service cell, which has a pair of 18th or 19th-century boarded gates.
Inside Bugs Bar, the timber-framing from the early 16th century is fully exposed, showcasing heavy unchamfered floor joists and an altered open fireplace from the 17th or 18th century that incorporates a 16th-century cambered and ogee-moulded lintel. Originally, the upper floor jutted out towards the street, but in the 18th or 19th century, the lower wall framing was moved forward to create a flush wall-line, although evidence of the original window and door positions remains.
