Description
The Bell Inn is an early 19th-century inn located on Frome Road. It features a roughcast exterior and a slate roof with coped verges, supported by four roughcast ridge stacks. The building has a plain frontage and is two storeys high, with a symmetrical arrangement of six bays. The windows are 16-pane sash windows of slightly varying sizes, with the second bay on the ground floor featuring a flat-roofed canted bay. There are two door openings; the left one is set within a 20th-century flat-roofed projecting roughcast porch with double half-glazed doors, while the right opening has a four-panelled door, with the top two panels glazed and a moulded flat stone hood on cut stone brackets. The inn is listed as a significant roadside feature and is noted in conjunction with numbers 17 and 19 Church Row.
