The Bell House is a beautiful family home situated in this lovely location with abundant character and charm, including exposed oak timbers and terracotta tiled floors.

One enters the property via an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and double doors opening to the beautiful, triple-aspect drawing room with a large inglenook fireplace housing a gas-fed fire. The ground floor also has a sizeable dining room and a dual-aspect study. The kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed, with a range of wooden units beneath a granite worktop and integrated appliances, including a two-oven AGA and electric oven, two pantries and ample space for a dining table. This is the perfect country kitchen. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a useful utility and two cloakrooms.

The first floor comprises a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and a separate family bathroom.

Outside, The Bell House is approached via a substantial gated driveway, providing parking for multiple cars and giving access to the double garage. Above the double garage accessed via an internal staircase is the studio/fifth bedroom, complete with a wet room. Stables/workshop with power supply are located close to the garage. This versatile space has two stable doors, and the whole front can be fully opened, making the space ideal for various uses, including classic car storage.

The house has stunning gardens and grounds, totalling approximately 6.8 acres. The formal gardens are lovely, with a perfectly placed patio area ideal for summer evenings, well-stocked herbaceous borders, specimen trees and a substantial, mainly lawned area.

Separated via mature hedges are two fields providing delightful views and catering well for those with an equestrian interest. There is a public footpath across part of one of the fields, detailed on the boundary plan.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire this special property on the market for the first time in more than 40 years.
