Description
Bell Cottage is a house that likely dates from the late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a hipped roof covered with plain tiles. The building has two storeys and an attic. The south facade has a range of three windows, which are mainly small pane casements with soldier course arches. There is one 19th-century three-light casement window under a segmental arch on the right side, while the window openings in the centre and on the left side are modern insertions from the mid-20th century. The left-hand return front, which faces west, includes 19th-century windows, a modern half-glazed door, and one hipped dormer.
