The Finer Details
Step inside The Bell House into a spacious and welcoming entrance hallway that immediately sets the tone for this bright, modern and beautifully designed home. From here, the layout flows effortlessly in two directions, making it ideal for both socialising and quiet relaxation.
To one side, you’re drawn into the interconnected main lounge and open-plan kitchen and dining area. Flooded with natural light, this is the heart of the house — a stylish, colourful space designed for gathering together. The kitchen is fully equipped for group cooking, while the dining area offers plenty of room for long, leisurely meals. The adjoining lounge is perfect for relaxing with a drink or winding down after a day exploring the countryside.
Heading back through the hallway, you’ll find a handy downstairs bathroom and a separate snug lounge, thoughtfully set up as a cinema room. This cosy space is ideal for movie nights, children’s downtime or simply escaping with a book.
Large patio doors open directly onto the outdoor dining area and comfortable seating, positioned in front of the beautifully presented heated swimming pool. The pool is heated between May and September, making it perfect for sunny afternoons, relaxed evenings and summer celebrations. Beyond the pool, the pool house offers a fantastic additional social space, complete with an outdoor kitchen and lounge area — ideal for entertaining, dining and making the most of warm weather.
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to five well-appointed bedrooms. There are two comfortable double bedrooms, two luxurious king bedrooms each with their own en-suite bathrooms, and a twin bedroom with trundle beds, ideal for children or flexible sleeping arrangements. Many rooms enjoy lovely views across the pool and surrounding grounds.
Outside, the front garden provides a private parking area, completing this exceptional home designed for memorable stays and special occasions.

A stunning location
Smarden
Smarden is one of Kent’s most picturesque villages, often described as one of the prettiest in the county, and it’s easy to see why. With its historic timber-framed buildings, wide village green and friendly, laid-back atmosphere, it offers a quintessential English countryside experience that feels both peaceful and welcoming.
At the heart of the village you’ll find a well-regarded pub, local tearooms and independent shops, all within easy strolling distance. Life in Smarden moves at a gentler pace — perfect for morning walks, leisurely lunches and evenings spent soaking up village charm. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walkers and cyclists, with rolling farmland, footpaths and quiet lanes leading out into the Kentish Weald.
Smarden also makes a brilliant base for exploring wider Kent. Historic towns such as Tenterden, Cranbrook and Rye are close by, offering boutique shopping, antique centres and excellent places to eat. Vineyards, castles, National Trust gardens and sandy beaches along the Kent and East Sussex coast are all within easy reach, making it just as suited to adventure-filled days as it is to slow, indulgent breaks.
That said, when you’re staying at The Bell House, you may find very little reason to venture far at all. The house itself is a destination in its own right — a place designed for relaxation, celebration and quality time together. Whether you’re lounging by the heated pool, enjoying long meals outdoors or settling into the cinema snug, days have a wonderful habit of drifting by.
Smarden offers the best of both worlds: a beautiful village setting with endless options to explore — and a home so special, you’ll be just as happy staying exactly where you are.
