Description

The Bluebell Inn, located at 2-10 High Street in Annan, is primarily a mid-19th century building that incorporates earlier structures. It is situated beside the bridge at the western approach to the town. The inn consists of two adjoining two-storey ranges with attics and basements, along with a stable court to the rear. The west flank features a piended two-bay design, and the lengthened west wall of the stables rises from the riverbank's retaining walls. The building is mainly constructed of red sandstone and has slate roofs.

The west range presents a polished ashlar six-bay elevation facing High Street, featuring two doors, modern glazing at the ground floor, and single windows along with bipartite windows on the first floor. A band course runs below the first-floor cill band, and there is an attic wallhead gable to the right.

The east range has two storeys and three bays, with a central door that features an inserted bolection-moulded doorpiece breaking the base course. The basement is made of roughly-coursed rubble, and the range includes six and nine-pane sash windows, three dormers, straight skews, and end stacks.

The stable court is a cobbled area enclosed on the north and east by high walls, with a gate leading to Battery Street. The stables, which are now part of the hotel accommodation, have timber-lintelled bays and a loft built of brick with ashlar uprights dividing the bays, along with a central boarded hatch.

Inside, there is a central entrance corridor that opens out to a bar and an open plan arrangement, which was formerly two rooms. The bar features a plain counter and gantry, with inter-war panelling on the walls and pilasters. There are two timber chimneypieces with Delft tile insets. The intact gentlemen's restroom includes tiling and Shanks Urinals, which are noted in Scotland's True Heritage Pubs.
