Description
Black Bear Cottage is a public house that has been converted into a cottage. It is likely that it was originally the Black Bear Inn. The building dates from the 17th century or earlier and features a timber-framed structure with red brick infilling, though it has mostly been refaced with red brick. There is a stringcourse present, and the roof is hipped and tiled, with a pentice on the northeast side. The cottage has two storeys and includes six casement windows.
