Description
The Five Bells is a public house dating from around 1700, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It features painted brick in 'Minster' bond on the ground floor and has a plain tiled roof. The building is two storeys tall with an attic, set on a plinth and has a plat band. The roof is hipped to the right and half hipped to the left, with two hipped dormers and chimney stacks located at the left end, centre left, and right end.
On the first floor, there are five glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor has three glazing bar sashes and two tripartite glazing bar sashes flanking a central double doorcase. The doorcase has pilaster surrounds and a cornice, with only the left door being glazed; the right door is blocked. There are basket arched heads above earlier blocked openings. The right end window bay is a later addition, which includes a small outshot. Inside, there is a fine early 18th-century staircase featuring turned balusters on an open string, with a dogleg and half landing plan.
