Description
Bell Fields is a house dating from around 1755, constructed of red brick with red plain tiled roofs that feature a treble range. It has red brick chimney stacks on both the right and left sides, and parapet verges. The building stands two storeys high with attics and includes two flat-headed dormers. Notable architectural features include a parapet, a moulded brick band underneath, and a central band. The house has a three-window range of vertically sliding sash windows with gauged brick arches above them. The central entrance consists of a four-panel, two-light door with a fluted surround and frieze, topped by a flat canopy and reveal panels.
