Description

The Six Bells Public House is a building that was originally a house, likely dating from the late 16th century, with a front that was remodeled in the 18th century. There is also an 18th-century addition on the left side. The left side features painted brick, while the center and right sides have render, likely over brick. The first floor has a false timber-framing appearance. The roof is covered with old plain tiles, and there is a brick stack at the right end and an internal stack at the rear left.

The building is two stories tall and has a four-window range. There are modern part-glazed doors to the left and right of the center, along with modern bow windows in those same positions. On the first floor to the left, there is a two-light casement window, and to the left and right of the center, as well as to the right, there are 12-pane unhorned sash windows.

Inside, there is a 16th-century molded wood door surround in the internal porch to the left of the center, featuring carved rosettes in the spandrels of a four-centered arch. Extensive timber framing can be seen throughout the interior.
