Description

The Bee Hive is a building dating from around the 16th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It is two storeys high and has four upper windows. The structure is timber-framed, with later brick cladding on the front. The roof is tiled and hipped on the west side, while the east side is also hipped but features a lower gable above a chamfered corner. The eaves have brick dentils, and there is a slate roof above a small outshot at the west end. The walls are roughcast, with cambered openings, and the rear wall displays exposed framing that is brick-nogged. The upper windows are casements, and the lower ones are sashes, with a late 19th-century shopfront located on the east side. There is a boarded door set in a solid frame, topped with a hood supported by brackets. The quality of the roof timbers may suggest that this is an important building.
