Description
Nestled within glorious formal gardens and grounds, Hitcham House is a remarkable Grade II listed country home originally designed in 1867 by the celebrated architect T. Roger Smith. This beautiful residence, lovingly converted into nine distinctive homes, retains its timeless character while offering the comforts of modern living. The enchanting gardens, designed by the renowned horticulturist Robert Marnock, perfectly complement the architectural splendor. Set in beautiful countryside on the edge of picturesque beech and mixed conifer woodlands, The Bellhouse offers an unspoiled sanctuary away from the bustle of everyday life.
You are immediately transported back in time as the magnificent drawing room welcomes you with its soaring ceiling, an elegant open fireplace and a large picture window that floods the space with natural light while offering courtyard views. This room sets the tone for the rest of the home which is refined, inviting and full of character. The heart of the house is the thoughtfully designed kitchen and dining room, perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying everyday family life. With its handmade oak cabinetry, hand-painted finishes, granite countertops, and integrated appliances, the kitchen is both functional and beautiful.
The versatile lower ground floor includes a cloakroom with a shower. A third bedroom, enhanced by a generous roof lantern, and a vaulted study which is ideal for remote working. The first-floor family bathroom is complete with a built-in bath and a separate shower cubicle. On this level, you’ll also find a charming fourth bedroom.

The third floor offers a dual-aspect second bedroom with full-height wardrobes.
The grounds & gardens of Hitcham House Estate are truly something to behold. At the front, a secured gated driveway provides ample communal off-street parking, with views over the formal lawns. The top terrace gardens of The Bellhouse provides entertaining space enclosed by wrought iron arched gates & evergreen Portuguese Laurel hedges.
