Description
Bull Cottage is a house that was formerly a public house, dating from the late 16th century, with a possible earlier core and an extension from the 18th century. The building has one and a half storeys and attics, featuring a three-cell lobby entrance plan. It is timber-framed and rendered with oblong scratched panels. The thatched roof includes eyebrow casement dormers and has a late 16th-century axial chimney made of red brick, which has twin flattened-hexagon shafts on a square base; these shafts have been rebuilt in a square shape.
The windows consist of 19th and 20th-century three-light casements with leaded diamond panes, along with a small four-light diamond-mullioned window from the 16th century located in the parlour. The external walling of the hall shows rising sole-braces, suggesting it may be part of an earlier structure. The roof has clasped purlins, which are a 17th or early 18th-century replacement of the original. The left-hand service room was added in the late 17th or early 18th century and incorporates much reused timber.
