Bell House

Bell House is a late 17th-century building with 18th-century window additions, located in Newtown. It is a two-story structure with a mansard roof featuring two wooden casement dormers and a modern pantile roof. A projecting two-story extension extends from the left side of the front facade. Originally, a large bell hung from an iron bracket positioned above the first-floor windows of this extension. The extension features a pair of sash windows on each floor, with glazing bars within the reveals. The main section of the front facade has four paired windows and one single window on the first floor, and two paired windows, one single window, and a modern bow window on the ground floor. Most windows are sashes with glazing bars in plain reveals. A square-headed door opening is located at each end of the main frontage, each with a six-panelled door. A sunken panel above the left-hand door displays the date "1695". The building is raised above the road and set back slightly, with a small paved forecourt featuring an iron handrail and five stone steps leading up to each end. Bell House is part of a group which includes Nos. 52 to 62 and 62B (consec).
