Description
The Six Bells is a public house, now a house, dating from the early to mid 18th century, with alterations around 1860. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with a front made of squared and coursed limestone, and has a gabled Welsh slate roof. The building features end stacks made of stone, finished in 19th-century brick. It has a three-unit plan with a rear outshut, standing two storeys high with an attic and a three-window range.
A stone lintel is positioned over a late 19th-century half-glazed door that has a bracketed canted hood, which is flanked by mid 19th-century canted bay windows with plate glass sashes. There are also stone lintels over mid 19th-century two-pane sashes and three mid 19th-century gabled roof dormers. At the rear, there is a stair turret and a two-storey wing from the mid 19th century, along with a 20th-century porch to the left.
Inside, there is a chamfered beam on the left and a boxed beam on the right, along with an early to mid 18th-century collar-truss roof featuring butt purlins. The building was formerly known as the Six Bells Public House, which was established in 1608.
