Description
The Bull Inn is a public house that dates from the 17th century and early 18th century. It features coursed limestone rubble with wooden lintels, colourwashed rubble, brick, and timber framing with brick nogging. The roofs are made of plain tiles and thatch, with brick gable stacks. The building consists of a long range that includes at least two sections, standing two storeys plus attics on one side and one storey plus attics on the other.
The higher 18th-century rubble section has a four-window front with tall casements on the first floor, although the middle windows are blocked. The ground floor has renewed windows, including one single-light window, and the entrance is located in the right bay. The tiled roof features a small roof dormer and linked gable stacks, with three on the left and two on the right. The boxed eaves are supported by a moulded wooden cove.
To the right, there is a long thatched section that curves forward, displaying irregular altered fenestration in its rubble and brick walls. The extreme left bay is timber framed and includes some herringbone nogging. This roof is half-hipped to the right and has one small dormer. Inside, the building features chamfered beams and an open fireplace.
