Description
Old Well House is a house, which was once an inn, likely built in the late 16th century in a timber-framed style with a lobby entrance. It was refaced in the 18th century and features 20th-century windows. The exterior is now covered in red brick on the ground floor, with tile hanging above, including one band of curved tiles on two sections. The house has a steeply pitched tiled roof with four octagonal brick chimneystacks. It has two storeys and four windows, with casement windows and a large 20th-century gabled porch. The interior has not been seen.
