Description
Belke House, formerly known as Beck House, is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is likely timber framed and features chequered brick cladding with a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, set on a brick plinth, and includes a plat band. The roof has a modillion eaves cornice, two hipped dormers, and two end stacks. There are three windows: 20th-century wooden casements on the first floor and large 19th-century glazing bar sashes on the ground floor. The entrance is a 20th-century two-panelled door located to the centre left, topped by a large flat hood supported by brackets.
