    About this property

    • Elegant and thoughtfully designed, this beautifully presented home offers generous and private gardens together with an abundance of flexible living space. This house was fully renovated in 2021 and was originally part of the Askham Bryan Hall Estate. The house also features a working bell upon the roof.

      Bell House is centred around a welcoming galleried reception hall, accessed via a vestibule with cloaks storage. From here, the accommodation flows seamlessly into a stylish and well-equipped family kitchen, complete with a breakfast island unit. Steps lead down to an exceptional contemporary orangery extension, where original Crittal windows and doors frame delightful garden views and allow natural light to flood the space, creating a superb dining and entertaining area for family gatherings and guests alike.

      A separate sitting room, featuring a glazed Crittal door and recessed fire place, provides a warm and relaxing retreat. The ground floor also benefits from a double bedroom with en suite shower room, ideal for visitors or multi-generational living. A guest WC, practical utility room and home office complete the accommodation on this level.

      On the first floor, four further excellent bedrooms are arranged to maximise both privacy and comfort. The principal bedroom enjoys an extensive range of fitted wardrobes together with a contemporary en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are all bright, airy and well proportioned, offering ample storage and served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom and an additional separate WC.

      The property is further complemented by a single garage and adjoining home gym/office, a versatile space with its own dedicated shower room. Additional covered parking is provided by a timber car port discreetly positioned, with an electric charging point. This gives the property 3 dedicates parking spaces.

      The charming gardens are both private and spacious, featuring a sheltered terrace which doubles as a patio/dining area, adorned with mature wisteria, level lawns and a variety of shrubs, trees and planted borders. Additionally there is a small bluebell wood beyond the garden. Beautifully maintained throughout, they provide an idyllic setting ready for the next owner to enjoy.

    The Bell House is a wonderfully balanced home, combining elegant family living with flexible and beautifully presented accommodation.

Altogether, it’s a home that feels both welcoming and exceptionally well cared for
