THE PROPERTY
Requiring full renovation and situated at the end of a Private lane, this historic Locally Listed property stands on a large plot of circa 1/2 acre. Offering seclusion and privacy but now a significant project, Bell House was formerly a coachman's house and stables serving the adjacent Regency home of Victorian novelist Anthony Trollope's father.
The house itself measures around 1,750sq/ft with a porticoed entrance to the hallway, living and dining rooms overlooking the gardens, study, kitchen and guest cloakroom to the ground floor. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms and an attic space above. The adjacent run-down stable block provides a further 650sq/ft of space that may suit a variety of uses such as garaging, studio, home office or ancillary accommodation, subject to consent.
As a Locally Listed property within a Conservation Area, it will not be possible to demolish and build anew on this fabulous plot. Rather, the house will suit an enthusiastic buyer seeking a unique home to improve and sympathetically restore whilst potentially adding accommodation based upon the original footprint, consent having previously been granted (2009) to join house and stables under Planning Ref; P/0689/09.
The gardens are somewhat overgrown so require fresh landscaping and management, but provide extensive outside space and parking in a peaceful and secret location.
