The Bell Inn

The Bell Inn is an early 18th-century building that features a roughcast refacing of a 17th-century inn. It is two stories tall with an attic and has a steeply pitched roof that is stone tiled at the front, complete with an east end stack and a ridge stack. The building includes three dormers and has a deep coved eaves cornice, with chamfered angle quoins. The east side of the front is slightly canted. There are five windows on the main range and two on the east side, all featuring exposed box glazing bar sashes with thick bars. On the ground floor, there is one tripartite sash window on the east side. The main range has a central former carriage entrance with moulded jambs dating from the 16th to 17th century and large panelled doors from the 18th century. Each side of the entrance has a three-sided splayed bay window topped with an ogee roof and glazing bar sash windows. A large bell hangs on an iron bracket. The west end features rubble stone with a three-light stone mullioned window on the ground floor. The rear of the building has a modern tiled roof and is roughcast with a truncated stack at the west rear gable. There are two rear wings; the west range is mostly painted rubble stone and includes a two-story, two-window cottage with a stone tiled roof and a large rear wall stack. The east range is primarily painted brick from the 18th to 19th century.
