Description

Bells Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with additions from the 19th century. The north front features exposed framing with plaster infilling, while the south front is made of modern brick. The east end is constructed from brick and tile-hung materials, with the frame visible. The roof is tiled, hipped at the west end and gabled at the east end, and includes a ridge stack. The building has two storeys and displays very irregular fenestration with modern lattice casements and replaced wooden mullions. There is also a later two-storey timber-framed addition to the left of the north front.
