Description
The Six Bells Inn is an inn dating from the early 18th century, built on an earlier structure. It is constructed of rubble stone with stone tiled roofs, featuring a coped west gable and a west end stack. The building has an L-plan layout, with an east side cross-wing that may date back to the 17th century and includes two side wall stacks. It stands two and a half storeys tall.
The main range displays flush cyma-moulded mullion windows, with two coped dormer gables that each have 2-light windows beneath dripstones. On the first floor, there are three 2-light windows with hoodmoulds, while the ground floor features two 3-light windows with hoodmoulds and a central door set in a raised stone doorcase, which has a frieze and cornice above. The right side of the building has a 3-light window where the mullions have been removed and paired sashes have been inserted. The cross-wing includes a south end first-floor 2-light recessed hollow-moulded mullion window with a hoodmould, and on the ground floor, there are paired 8-pane sashes with a hoodmould above. The east side wall has an ovolo-moulded 2-light eaves dormer and two pairs of small 12-pane windows on the ground floor.
