Description
Eight Bells House is a house that was formerly an inn, dating from the 17th century with alterations and a 19th-century addition to the south. The building is constructed of witchert, which is roughcast and colourwashed on a rendered rubble plinth. The south addition features an old tile roof, while the original 17th-century section has a thatched roof that is half-hipped at the north gable.
The 17th-century part consists of three bays and is one and a half storeys high, while the south addition has two bays and is two storeys tall. The original section includes a right-hand door set within a modern gabled porch, a central three-light bay window, and a three-light casement window on the left. There are three dormer windows, with the outer ones being leaded and the left one having two lights.
An old brick stack is located between the left-hand bays, which was formerly positioned behind the entrance but is now blocked. There is also an off-centre stack at the north gable. The left bays have three-light casements, except for the ground floor left bay, which features a two-light casement and a boarded door. The building also has a central stack and a left-hand lean-to.
