Overview
The Bells is a truly impressive detached home, masterfully extended and refurbished to create a seamless blend of characterful charm and contemporary living. A wealth of exposed timber beams and period fireplaces complement the more modern additions, while the approximately 3,000 sq ft of accommodation provides a flexible and exceptionally bright living environment.
The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall into the principal reception spaces. The light-filled, dual-aspect drawing room features exposed timber beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace, creating a welcoming focal point. To the front, a good-sized sitting room provides a more relaxed setting. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen and breakfast room, featuring a striking vaulted ceiling with overhead glazing, a range cooker and modern integrated appliances. This generous space provides ample room for dining and entertaining, with floor-to-ceiling doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and gardens. The ground floor further provides a separate study, cloakroom and good-sized utility room.
Upstairs, the accommodation is equally impressive. The principal bedroom, with characterful exposed wall and ceiling beams, provides a tranquil retreat, complemented by a luxurious en suite shower room and dressing room. Three additional well-proportioned bedrooms provide ample space for family and guests, with each benefiting from a stylish, modern en suite facility.
Outside, the property occupies a substantial plot, with the grounds featuring beautifully landscaped gardens, mature planting and extensive areas of lawn. A sweeping driveway leads to a detached building incorporating a garage and carport, providing excellent parking and storage for multiple vehicles. A charming summer house and additional garden sheds provide further practical storage and potential space for a home studio..
