Description
The Bell Inn is an 18th-century inn that was refronted in the early 19th century. It is built from coursed rubble and features a triple roman tile roof with a coped verge on the left side. The building has rubble stacks with drip moulds at the tops and a small gabled dormer. The facade is influenced by classical architecture and consists of two storeys and an attic with three bays. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are set in bead moulded stone surrounds. The ground floor and the far left window on the first floor are paired, while there are further triple sash windows on the first floor, all featuring broad bead moulded dividing mullions. There are two door openings, also in bead moulded stone surrounds, with moulded stone hoods supported by cut stone brackets. The left door is a four-panelled door, and the right door is a six-panelled door.
