Description
Bear House is a detached house located on George Street in Bisley Village. It dates from the early 17th century, with a late 18th-century addition. The building is constructed from coursed and random rubble limestone, featuring ashlar and artificial stone chimneys, and has a stone slate roof.
The house is two-storey with an attic and includes a two-storey rear wing. The front of the original house has three windows, all of which are stone cross windows. The ground floor windows have combining hoodmoulds, while the central window has been replaced with a doorway. The eaves are coved, and there is a central gabled roof dormer with leaded casements.
To the right, the addition features a single casement window on each floor, with the upper window being leaded and both having timber lintels. The west end of the house has a gable end with an off-centre doorway and a plank door, along with a cross-window with a hoodmould on the upper floor. There are pigeon hole ledges in the gable apex, although the holes are now blocked. Additionally, there is a catslide roof to the outshut on the west side of the rear wing. The interior has not been inspected.
