Description
Bell House is a former school with an attached house, now functioning as a single dwelling. It is believed to date from 1790, although the Victoria County History states that the school was founded in 1818. The building is constructed of brick and tile. The house section is two storeys high with one window and features a 20th-century outshot on the east side. It has a ripped roof, walls in Flemish bond, cambered openings, and a plinth. The windows are casements, and there is a French door beneath a 20th-century canopy supported by wrought-iron brackets.
The school section is attached to the west side of the house and has had an upper floor inserted into the former hall. This part is one storey with an attic and has two windows. It features a hipped roof with flat-roofed dormers. The north wall shows evidence of the removal of large windows, replaced with lower casement windows. The west end retains the original central doorway. At the top of the hip, there is a small wood-framed bell-cote, which holds a bell resting on a leaded base and is topped with a shingled pitched roof.
