Bell End Farmhouse

Bell End Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the early 18th century and mid-19th century, along with some restoration in the late 20th century. It is constructed of handmade brick, partly resting on a sandstone base with sandstone dressings, and features plain tiled roofs with parapets at some gable ends. The building has an L-plan layout, with the main section consisting of four bays aligned east to west and a large central chimney that has three brick ridge stacks and joint caps, suggesting a probable lobby-entry plan. There is a two-bay 18th-century wing to the southeast.

The farmhouse has a mix of single-storey and attic spaces, with gabled half-dormers and a two-course band at the attic level, as well as two storeys, an attic, and a cellar with stone bands at the storey levels on the gable end and a moulded stone eaves cornice. On the south front elevation, the main part has a left bay that projects slightly. The windows are all mullioned and transomed timber casements with cambered heads and leaded lights, featuring three 3-light windows on the ground floor and three half-dormers with shaped gables, parapets, ball finials, and 2-light windows.

Between the second and third bays, there is a 19th-century brick porch that has a shaped gable-end parapet and finial, a chamfered ogee-arched doorway, a six-panelled door, and a traceried fanlight. The 18th-century wing has end quoins and features a 2-light window with a stone lintel on each floor at the gable end, along with a door to the ground floor and cellar. The ground floor door has a cambered head and is accessed by a flight of sandstone steps due to a change in ground level. There is a square stone in the apex with a circular panel inscribed with the initials "RW". At the angle with the main part, there are two ground floor windows with cambered heads, one of which is blind while the other has two lights. The interior is said to have been remodelled in the 19th century. The 19th-century wing to the right has a rainwater hopper head dated 1815, and there are also 19th and 20th-century additions at the rear.
