Description
The Six Bells Public House is a 16th-century building with later extensions, located on the north side of The Street in Walsham le Willows. It is timber-framed and rendered, featuring panels of roughcast. The roof is primarily thatched, with some areas covered in plain tiles and slates on a later extension. The building has two storeys and consists of a basic three-cell internal chimney range, with projecting wings on both the left and right sides.
There is a single-storey lean-to against the inner side of the left wing, as well as a 20th-century flat-roofed porch extension situated between the two wings. The internal stack has a plain rectangular rebuilt shaft set on a base of old red brick. The windows include old casements with pintle hinges and square leaded panes, arranged in three-light or paired two-light configurations. In the left wing, there is a row of three small-paned sash windows set in deep cased reveals. The entrance features a 20th-century half-glazed door.
On the side frontage, there is a large canted bay window on the ground floor, along with various two-light and three-light windows, all with square leaded casements. The main range has five bays, including a chimney bay, and some good closely-spaced studding is exposed on the former outer wall. To the left of the stack, there is a main beam with ogee-moulding and roll-moulding on the soffit, along with a cambered fireplace lintel featuring triple roll-moulding. To the right of the stack, a two-bay room has an exposed ceiling with a double roll-moulding on the main beam and ogee-moulding on the joists, as well as an open fireplace with a double roll-moulding on the lintel. The partition wall to the service end has been removed, and the beam is boxed-in. In the end wall, there are slides and housings for two three-light diamond-mullioned windows.
