Bell House was formerly a Free Church of Scotland Kirk, dating from 1834. It was restored in 1874, when the gallery was added. It was cleverly/imaginatively converted into a domestic residence in 2011, incorporating many of its original features including the stain-glass windows, gallery (now galleried landing and home office) and its staircase. Of particular note is the full height sitting room, the well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room and the “bridge” connecting the gallery to bedroom accommodation. Bell House provides flexible, family living space on two floors with the majority of the bedrooms on the first floor. Listed building consent has been granted to put a garage in the garden, a bedroom/room and ensuite facilities in the attic, remove the wall between the kitchen and dining room and consent to merge the downstairs bedroom and ensuite bathroom and put a new ensuite into what is currently the study.

Outside
Surrounding the house is a large parking area (accessed exclusively from a privately owned drive that is shared with a neighbouring property, separated from Bell House by a fence/hedge) and an enclosed garden that is mostly down to lawn. Along the north-west elevation of the old kirk is a partly terraced area with plenty of scope to create an outdoor dining/sitting area. Timber storage sheds provide space for garden implements, tools, logs, bicycles and garden furniture.
Bell House is located in a beautiful rural position about 1 mile north of Coulter and 2 miles from the centre of Biggar. It is surrounded by wonderful countryside where there is a strong agricultural tradition. It is ideally positioned for those who enjoy walking (Tinto and Coulter Fell are close by), a game of golf, cycling, mountain biking, horse riding, game shooting and fishing. Coulter has its own primary school; there is a secondary school in Biggar. Biggar has a wide and varied selection of local shops and services.
Access to Edinburgh, via A720, and Glasgow, via A720 and M74 is straight forward. Edinburgh provides all the facilities and amenities you would expect from a capital city including many private schools, hospitals, rail station, international airport, theatres, galleries and sporting venues. Glasgow has excellent shopping facilities, transport links and cultural centres. Both city's airports provide regular domestic and international flights to a number of destinations. Carstairs and Lanark, 13 and 12 miles respectively, link into the national rail network and there are regular bus services from Biggar to Edinburgh and surrounding towns.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on July 6, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
