Description
The Bulls Head Public House is a public house and shop with living quarters above, dating from the early 18th century, possibly with an earlier core. It was remodeled in the late 18th century and has been extended at the rear. The front is whitewashed with slate hanging, while the left-hand side wall is rendered. The rear wing is also rendered. The building features a slate roof with a hipped end on the left and a higher asbestos slate roof with gabled ends on the right side.
The Fore Street elevation has three storeys and presents an asymmetrical front with three windows. The ground floor includes a 20th-century cross window on the left and an entrance to the right, featuring a timber door with a pointed head and a diamond leaded fanlight above. There is a moulded timber string above this entrance. To the right is a shop with a late 19th-century glazed shop front and a central 20th-century glazed door.
On the first floor, there is a sash window on the left with the glazing bars removed, and two 4-pane sashes on the right. The second floor has a left-hand sash with the top glazing bars removed and two 16-pane sashes on the right. The left side wall has a cross window on the ground floor and a 4-pane sash above it.
The Church Street elevation has two storeys and continues the rear wall of the three-storey range, presenting three windows. The ground floor features two cross windows flanking a central plank door with a timber hood above. The upper floors have three sashes without glazing bars. The interiors of the ground floor have been altered, while the upper floors have not been inspected.
Historically, the Bulls Head was kept by Samuel Winter at the beginning of the 18th century, and Edward Keast took over from 1748 to 1761.
