Bell Inn And Adjoining Shop

The Bell Inn and adjoining shop is a former detached house, now a public house with an attached shop, dating to the mid- to late 17th century, with an 18th-century addition. The building is constructed of random and coursed rubble limestone, with brick chimneys and a stone slate roof to the front; plain tiles cover the rear slopes. It is two storeys with attics at each end, a single storey with an attic in the centre, and a single-storey shop attached to the northwest end. The front facade features three gables. Most windows are mullioned casements, with two or three lights and hoodmoulds; some have timber casements with timber lintels. There are two doorways with plank doors and timber lintels. A brick-rebuilt chimney is located at the northwest gable end of the public house. The shop to the right has a single fixed shop window with glazing bars and a doorway with a timber lintel and plank door to the right. The northwest end mirrors the front with a single fixed shop window. The rear has been altered, including the addition of a long, 20th-century flat-roofed dormer and a small single-storey projecting wing.
