The entrance to Bell Hall is down a long private drive, this gives complete privacy and discretion. A central flight of steps lead up to the south and west doors; these have light pane over lights with eared architraves and are set within pilastered doorcases with acanthus consoles supporting broken segmental pediments which contain restored.

Oak, ash, chestnut and Scots pine are among the prominent trees in the grounds.

There are gates in a mixed beech and hornbeam hedge which lead through to the south facing rear garden surrounded on three sides by a 12’ mellow brick wall. Here there are established herbaceous borders, sweeps of lawn and a central grassed paddock area, mature shrubs and a wisteria on the southern elevation of the house.

The property, formerly part of a much larger estate, was constructed in 1680 and attributed to the well known architect John Etty of a mellow brick with fine Ashlar dressing and quoins under a slate hipped roof
