Description

The Six Bells Inn is a public house and dwelling that dates back to the 17th century, with extensions added in the mid-19th century. The building features a basic three-cell plan and is partly one and a half storeys and partly two storeys high. The original structure is timber-framed and roughcast, topped with a slate roof that runs east-west. There is an internal chimney stack with a plain rebuilt shaft. The windows are 20th-century casements with a single bar, and there is a 20th-century door.

The 19th-century extension is made of white gault brick, with a gable end constructed from random flint and red brick, also featuring a slate roof. On the ground floor, there is a small-paned tripartite sash window set in a flush frame, while the upper storey has two small-paned sashes in flush frames. This extension also has a 20th-century door. Additionally, along the east side of the extension, there is a single-storey 19th-century lean-to made of flint and red brick rubble, with white brick at the corners and a pantiled roof.
