Description
The Bull's Head Hotel and Bull's Head Chambers is a public house and offices that originated in the mid-18th century, with early 19th-century and 1880s additions, as well as 20th-century modifications. The building features coursed limestone rubble in the 18th-century section, with rendered surfaces on the south and in the early 19th-century section. The 1880s section is constructed from random limestone and gritstone rubble, with gritstone dressings and quoins. The roofs are covered in plain tiles, with crested ridge tiles on the 1880s section, blue brick gable end and ridge stacks, and stone coped gables with moulded kneelers.
The structure has three storeys in the 18th-century and early 19th-century sections, while the 1880s section is two storeys tall, forming an uneven T-plan. The north-south range includes the 18th-century section to the north, which is interrupted by the 1880s wing. On the north side, there is a two-light flush mullion window with a similar window above it, and a shallower window at the eaves. The other side of the 1880s wing features a 20th-century addition on the ground floor with a two-light flush mullion window above and a single-light flush window to the north. Above this, there is a shallow two-light flush mullion window.
Attached to the south is the early 19th-century section, which has an off-centre chamfered flush doorcase with a 20th-century glazed panelled door. To the north, there is a 20th-century window in a plain surround, and to the south, a thin 20th-century window in a flush surround. Above, there are two glazing bar sashes and one plain sash in flush surrounds, with three plain sashes in flush surrounds above that.
The north elevation of the 1880s wing features a central chamfered four-centred arch through the building, flanked by two chamfered three-light mullion windows to the west and a similar two-light window to the east. There is a four-centred arched chamfered doorcase with a 20th-century door and a single-light window beyond. Above the archway, there is a jettied timber frame dormer with applied studding and a large three-light window. To the west, there are two two-light chamfered mullion windows, and to the east, there are two similar windows, with the far eastern window being considerably lower.
