The Bell Inn

The Bell Inn is a public house that combines a house and a cottage, originally built in the mid-16th century, with the cottage dating from the 18th century. It has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a rendered exterior, with the 16th-century section being timber-framed and topped with plain tile roofs.

On the right side, the former cottage is two stories high with one bay. It has a ground-floor outshut that is fronted by a trellised porch, which includes a four-panel door and a 12-pane sash window. On the first floor, there is a small-pane casement window set in a flush wood architrave, and an external stack with offsets is located on the right side.

The main range of the building is two stories with an attic and consists of three gabled bays, with a fourth gabled bay from the 19th century set back on the left. The central bay is narrower and features a 20th-century small-paned, half-glazed double door beneath a cantilevered gable. Above this door is a blocked window with an eared and pedimented architrave, along with a pub sign on a bracket.

The flanking bays each have a two-story, pent-roofed, canted bay with a 20-pane window in a flush wood architrave on both floors, and there are 2-light, 8-pane casements in the attic. The 19th-century curvilinear barge boards adorn all gables except for the central one, which has a weathervane on an orb topped with a figure dressed in 18th-century attire. A central multiple-flue brick ridge stack is present, and there is a single-storey wing added on the left under a hipped roof. Additional 19th-century extensions with Welsh slate roofs are set back on the left and at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
