Description
The Bell Inn is a public house dating from the 18th century, with an extension added in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of flint and rubble with red brick dressings, and the extension features rendered brick, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high on a plinth with moulded weathering, and includes a flush brick stringcourse, quoins, and eaves. The roof is hipped to the right and has stacks to the left that are clustered and projecting, with tile hanging on the right side.
The original facade had a regular arrangement with two glazing bar sashes on each floor, featuring segmental heads on the ground floor, and a central half-glazed door with a raking hood supported by brackets. There is an illegible datestone located at the center of the first floor. The building has been extended to the left, which includes a glazing bar sash on the first floor and a large sash on the ground floor. There are also catslide outshots to the right and at the rear.
