Description
Belmont House is a house dating from around 1800, with later additions and alterations, including a 20th-century raising of the bays. It is constructed of reddish-pink brick in Flemish bond on the front facade, featuring gauged red brick flat arches, an ashlar cornice, a hipped plain tile roof, and an off-centre right brick stack with an oversailing course. The entrance has a timber doorcase and cast-iron balconettes. The building has a double-depth plan with a central hallway and a single-storey service range to the rear on the left.
The ground and first floors have 6/6 sash windows, while the second floor features 3/3 sashes, all set in plain reveals with sills and flat arches. The central entrance is accessed by two roll-edged steps (one of which has been renewed) leading to a 6-panel door, where the lower panels are flush beaded and the upper panels are raised and fielded. Above the door is a fanlight with glazing bars, and the doorcase is adorned with fluted pilasters and a corn and ribbon motif on the frieze, topped with an open pediment featuring a lozenge motif.
On the left side garden return, there are two canted ground-floor bays, both raised to two storeys, featuring 8/8 and 6/6 sashes as well as French windows, all under flat arches. The rear of the house has two 6/6 sashes on the first floor, a 6/4 staircase sash, and two 3/3 sashes, all with plain reveals and cambered arches. The outer windows at the rear have balconettes with embellished bars and ornate scroll motifs, and there is a modillion eaves band. The right return includes a blind opening on the first and second floors with cambered arches and a ground-floor 6/6 sash window also with a cambered arch.
Inside, the house retains original plasterwork and joinery. The hall features a frieze with a fleur-de-lys motif, 6-panel doors with tooled architraves, and pull-up shutters. A pine fireplace from around 1730 has likely been introduced in the 20th century. The bays have column cluster stanchions added in the 1990s. The room to the left has a cornice with a floral motif and a flitched beam, along with a bolection-moulded fireplace (introduced in the 20th century from College Gates) featuring a cast-iron grate that offers a view of the iron bridge at Coalbrookdale. At the rear, there is a fireplace supported by corbel brackets.
