Description
The Bell and Jorrocks Public House is an 18th-century public house that was altered in the early 19th century. It features a combination of painted brick and tile hanging, with a rendered and tile-hung right return. The building has a plain tiled roof and a front range that runs parallel to the road, with three transverse hipped wings at the rear. It is two storeys high, with hipped roofs that rise above the ridge line, and chimney stacks located at the rear and projecting from the right end.
On each floor, there are three sash windows with vertical glazing bars; the ground floor windows are four panes wide and are flanked by iron hay-baskets. There are two panelled doors, with the one on the right being half-glazed, located to the centre left and centre right, both topped with cornices supported by brackets. To the right, there is a single-storey flat-roofed extension that was added in the late 20th century. A glazing bar sash window is present on the right return.
