Description
The Bell House is a house reputedly dated 1699, with significant 20th-century restoration. It is constructed of coursed Doulting rubble and features a 20th-century pantile roof with rendered stacks. The building has one and a half storeys and three bays, with the upper bays in half gables. The windows are two and three-light reserved chamfer stone mullioned windows, except for the left bay on the ground floor, which has an opening with four lights, each featuring a four-centred head. All windows have leaded lights. The entrance has a four-centred head door opening in a moulded stone surround, with carved spandrels and an angled label, leading to a reproduction ribbed door. The house is included primarily for its group value, as it retains only a 17th-century facade.
