Description
The Eight Bells Hotel is an inn dating from the 18th century, with an extension added in the mid-19th century. The building features a timber frame and is tile hung on the painted brick ground floor, while the rear is weather-boarded. It has a plain tiled roof and a slate-roofed extension. The main range is two stories high with a hipped roof and chimney stacks located at the right end and the center. On the first floor, there are four glazing bar sash windows, with mullioned windows to the right and center left. The center and left sides have half-glazed doors, both set within large late 20th-century gabled porches, with the porch on the left being larger. At the back, there is a parallel hipped wing that has projecting stacks and a lean-to outshot. To the left, there is a two-story extension, built before 1880, featuring a gabled roof and a stack on the right. This extension has three glazing bar sash windows on the first floor and three grouped sashes on the ground floor, with a canted oriel window on the left return.
