Description
The Bell Inn is a house that has been converted into a public house, likely dating from the 17th century with some alterations from the 18th century and a rear wing. It is constructed of coursed ironstone rubble, featuring ironstone quoins and a plain tile roof. The building has three brick stacks, with the left stack resting on a fragmentary stone base, and stone coping on the left gable. The layout is L-shaped, originally consisting of two units, which is indicated by the quoins, and includes an extension at the rear.
On the ground floor, there are two stone window surrounds that contain inserted three-light casements. To the right, there is a doorway and a bay window, both sheltered by a sloping canopy with a Welsh slate roof. The first floor features a 20th-century window, while three dormers with plain tile roofs and a stone ridge are present. A cellar is located on the left part of the front elevation. The rear extension includes a wooden mullioned and transomed window with crown glass. Inside, the public bar showcases stop-chamfered beams and a bressumer above the fireplace.
