Description
The Bell Inn is a public house built around 1890. It is constructed from unrendered snecked stone rubble with decorative vermiculated stone dressings on the facade and brick dressings at the rear. The building features a slate roof with gable ends and crested ridge tiles, along with brick stacks on the right gable end and slightly set back from the ridge towards the left end.
The overall plan is 'T' shaped, with a principal room on each side of the entrance stair hall, an additional entrance at the left end, and a shallow gabled wing at the center of the rear. The inn is two storeys high and has a seven-window range. All openings have semi-circular arches with vermiculated surrounds and continuous impost bands on each story. The windows are all two-paned round-headed sashes. The facade aims for symmetry, featuring two pairs of sashes on each floor flanking a five-panelled door with two sashes above. Each door is topped with a plain fanlight.
