Browninghill Green, Baughurst, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG26

In recent years, The Bell House has been thoughtfully extended to blend traditional charm with spacious, contemporary open-plan living areas—perfectly tailored for modern family life.

Upon entering, you're greeted by an elegant and expansive hallway that not only links the various parts of the house but also provides an impressive reception area ideal for entertaining large gatherings. The original early Victorian heart of the home features a charming square drawing room, centered around an open fireplace and flooded with natural light from windows on three sides and a study/snug. The memorable family kitchen is truly exceptional—barn-inspired and grand in scale, boasting an outstanding double height window at one end and a striking open fireplace at the other with a mezzanine above. This space combines the best of cooking, dining and family living, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyday use. Additionally, located off the ground floor is a spacious, well-designed playroom with windows on three sides, laundry room, large boot room, larder and secondary Guest WC.

The first floor hosts a beautiful principal bedroom suite with en suite bathroom and dressing room, a refined guest bedroom with en suite, third double bedroom and a family bathroom. Stairs lead to the second floor with a galleried landing, three further bedrooms and two bathrooms. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe is also situated at the opposite end of the house, providing privacy and flexibility.

Set within approximately six acres, the grounds offer a delightful and complete package. Lawns surround the house, with flower borders and climbing plants. The garden features an attractive potager-style vegetable and cutting garden alongside fruit trees. A discreetly positioned swimming pool with a stone terrace and timber pool house provides a perfect spot for relaxation, while a well-maintained tennis court adds to the outdoor amenities.

There are also four stables and a tack room, complemented by ample paddocks bordered by mature oak trees. A substantial 37-foot timber-framed barn-style outbuilding offers versatile space, ideal for use as a workshop or machinery store.
