Description
Bell Farmhouse is an inn that has been converted into a house, with a datestone on the front that reads "R B G 1732", indicating it was built in that year, though there have been later alterations. The building is constructed of colourwashed rubble and features a double Roman tile roof with end rubble stacks. It is two storeys high and has a layout of three bays on one side and two on the other. The windows are 2-light bead-moulded stone mullioned, with each light fitted with a casement that has a horizontal glazing bar. The entrance is located in the second bay and consists of a 6-panelled door set within a gabled rubble porch, which also has a double Roman tile roof.
