Description

The pump house, located 200 metres north-west of Belton House, dates from the early 19th century and was restored in the late 20th century. It is constructed of painted brick and features a hipped pantile roof. The building is single storey and consists of two bays. On the front side facing the dam, there is a 6-pane casement window, with a hatchway and plank door to the right that provides access to the water wheel. At the rear, there is a 4-pane window. Each side of the building has a door, with the left door being half-glazed. Inside, there is a workable undershot water wheel that once drove a pump, which has since been removed, supplying water to Belton House. This pump house is situated within Belton Park, which is listed on the Garden Register at grade I.
