Bell Horse Cottage is situated about 1.2 miles from the High Street in an elevated setting, with a panoramic view over Chew Valley Lake to miles of countryside beyond. It is surrounded by farmland and is considered to have one of the best views of, and over the lake.
Bell Horse Cottage is believed to date from the mid 1700's. The present owners purchased the property in 2017 when in need of complete modernisation. Although the cottage was virtually razed to the ground, the original walls were retained, the cottage extended, and the accommodation intelligently re-designed to take complete advantage of its setting and views. Emphasis is given to light, semi-open plan rooms where a traditional atmosphere blends with the contemporary. There are views from all windows over the surrounding countryside, the majority of which also have a lake view.
The interior is stunning and beautifully renovated. There are engineered English oak and porcelain tile floors, vaulted timber ceilings in the vestibule and office, a log burning stove in the sitting room, purpose designed and hand-crafted ash and beech kitchen with walk-in pantry and integrated appliances, and French doors open from the dining area to the raised terrace. An especially designed oak staircase with elegant fine spindles rises to a gallery landing on the first floor. There are double glazed windows in powder coated aluminium frames, and under floor heating to the ground floor, and to the two first floor shower rooms.
Outside
Bell Horse Cottage is approached over an entrance drive providing parking for several cars. The quiet and attractive garden lies principally to one side of the cottage, overlooked by the paved terrace outside the dining area. The views over the lake and surrounding Chew Valley are spectacular.
The established garden with ornamental pond, is designed as a colourful English cottage and wildflower garden. There is lawn, inset beds, perennials, roses, spring bulbs, wild Orchids, and a variety of shrubs and flowering plants, raised vegetable beds, and a
summer house.
