Bells Ground Manor wins Best Residential Property in Hampshire with International Property Awards

Bells Ground Manor, a magnificent Georgian-style country home provides modern country living with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Surrounded by beautiful open farmland and dense forests, Hampshire’s idyllic rural landscape is a perfect setting for the home and it marries traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style. The home is set in more than 10 acres and has in excess of 6,000 sq ft of accommodation with 6 large bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Like all Fairfax homes, Bells Ground offers state of the art amenities such as Miele appliances and quality bathrooms, a Mark Wilkinson kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga oven and a Chesney’s fireplace in the drawing and family rooms. Fairfax uses high quality traditional materials such as handmade bricks and natural stone flooring.

Importantly, in line with Fairfax’s ethos to remain as environmentally friendly as possible, the house has achieved Level Three, under The Code for Sustainable Homes; the national standard for sustainable building. The geothermal heating system has been used in the form of sustainable ground source heat pumps. Bells Ground has a rainwater harvesting system in place and sensitive landscaping has ensured that Bells Ground Manor will blend into the landscape.

Commenting on the awards, John McLean, CEO of Fairfax Classical said, “We are delighted that Bells Ground Manor has been recognised for both its quality and setting within Hampshire. We are committed to building homes that are distinguished and provides a heritage for tomorrow.”
