Description
The Bell Inn is a hotel built in 1908, replacing an earlier establishment. It features a combination of limestone with flint panels and a rendered first floor, topped with a red tiled roof. The building is two storeys high and has an irregularly designed facade. On the left side, there is a forward stack with chequerwork that is shouldered at the first floor level and supports two very tall diagonal brick shafts. The ground level includes a recessed entrance with a moulded segmental arch. To the right, there is a bay window with a tiled roof, followed by two doors that have segmental stone canopies, separated by narrow lights, and a name plaque above. The right bay is set forward and includes a timber framed carriage arch, with a narrow gable on the first floor situated between raised buttresses. The first-floor windows are timber and leaded, with the gable window over the bay window featuring three lights, the centre light being arched. A gable stack is located at the right end of the building. The carriage arch has gates adorned with bobbin turned balusters and a spiked iron top cresting. The interior has been altered.
