Description

The Bell Inn is a hotel that dates from the mid-18th century, with alterations made in the 19th century and significant extensions in the late 20th century. It is constructed of brick and features an old plain tile roof topped with lead. The building is two stories high with an attic above a cellar and has a three-bay, double pile layout.

The front of the inn has light wells in the flanking bays. The central entrance consists of a 20th-century four-panel door set beneath a flat hood supported by brackets. Above the door, there is a 12-pane exposed-frame sash window under a rubbed arch with a raised stone key. In the flanking bays, there are paired 12-pane exposed-frame sash windows, also under wide rubbed arches with raised stone keys, with the larger ones located on the ground floor. All windows are fitted with external shutters. The building features a raised dentilled cornice and three two-light hip-roofed dormers. The roof is hipped, and there are squat stacks on the return ridges. Additionally, there is a one-and-a-half-story 20th-century addition at the left rear corner.
