Five Bells is a splendid, detached period cottage with cobbled and red-brick dressed elevations, and various attractive period details, combined with a stylish modern finish. There are three reception rooms on the ground level, including the generous drawing room with its dual aspect, including bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. The room features wooden flooring and welcomes plenty of natural light, with its connection to the patio area making it ideal for entertaining. Further reception rooms include the useful study for private, peaceful home working, and the music room, another comfortable reception with wooden flooring and a cast-iron open fireplace with a striking red tiled surround. The kitchen and dining area adjoins the drawing room, connected via two open squared archways for a semi open plan feel. There is a part-vaulted ceiling with exposed timber eaves, as well as tiled flooring and bi-folds opening onto the garden. The room offers space for a family dining table, as well as a central island and breakfast bar, fitted farmhouse-style units and an Aga, while at the other end of the ground floor, the utility room, store and boot room provide further storage space, along with the cellar. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms of similar proportions. These include the principal bedroom with its dressing area and en suite shower room, while the additional three bedrooms all benefit from built-in storage. The first floor also has the large family bathroom

The house backs onto open fields, creating a peaceful and tranquil environment. At the front, a wooden gate opens onto the gravel driveway, which provides plenty of parking space for several vehicles, as well as access to the brick and flint outbuilding, which has planning permission to convert to a 5th bedroom, en suite annexe and kitchenette (Planning ref: 23/00848/FULLN). The gardens include an area of lawn at the front, bordered by mature hedgerow and a beautifully presented garden at the rear, including a patio, and has separate access to the field via a 5 bar gate to the lane. A generous expanse of lawn is bordered by mature trees, while beyond the lawn, a large grassy paddock extends far beyond the gardens.
