Bells Ground Manor Bells Ground Manor is an outstanding country house, offering a wonderful country lifestyle in beautiful rural location but with excellent connections to Winchester and further afield. The house was completed in 2010 and was built by the renowned heritage developers Fairfax utilising contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship. The house and grounds have been further improved during the current owner’s tenure including a new contemporary kitchen and extensive planting and landscaping.
Double front doors open under a pillared porch into the magnificent reception hall which allows a glimpse through the house through multiple double doors to the gardens beyond. The hall gives access to the formal reception spaces of the drawing room and dining room and a beautiful oak staircase leads up to the galleried landing above. In addition there is a study, cloakroom and double doors opening through to the kitchen/breakfast room.
The kitchen has been spectacularly redesigned by Bulthaup and is now a contemporary space with the highest specification Gaggenau and Meile appliances. The breakfast area sits on the west side of the room, within a deep bay window and a pair of French doors open onto the adjacent south-facing terrace. Double doors also open from the kitchen leading to the family room and orangery both of which offer outstanding informal living space and have French doors opening onto the terrace.
