Description
Nos. 1 and 2 Bell View is a former Presbyterian church built in 1820, which was converted into two houses around 1934. The building features squared tooled stone on the front and a rubble rear, with a slate roof. It is situated on a steep hillside. The north front has two storeys above a projecting basement plinth and consists of four bays. There is a first-floor band and a projecting eaves course. The central bays are set forward under a gable. The basement windows are blocked and square-headed, while the upper windows are round-headed with plate-glass sashes, although they retain older Gothick intersecting glazing bars in their heads. There is a circular window in the gable, which was originally a clock. The roof is hipped. The rear elevation includes a pent outshut with two elliptical-arched doorways, one of which has a date above it.
