Description
Bell House is a village school and school house, now a dwelling, built around 1890 by Sir Ernest George and Alfred Yeates for Alexander Henderson of Buscot Park. It is designed in the Cotswold vernacular style, featuring coursed rubble stone with stone dressings, a gabled stone tiled roof, and a tall stone ridge stack. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the former school room located in the west wing at right angles to the road. It includes a large mullioned and transomed window in the former school room, along with 3 and 4-light mullioned windows with leaded casements elsewhere. There is one large dormer that breaks the eaves line, which has a hipped stone tiled roof, a dripstone, and a plank door with leaded lights. An open wood bell turret with a shaped lead cap rises from the junction of the two wings. The building is included for its group value.
