Belham Hayes

Belham Hayes is an early 18th-century house, with later 18th and early 19th-century flanking extensions and refurbishment in the 1930s. The house is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with stone slate roofs and rubble stone ridge chimneys. The original part of the house has two storeys and an attic and comprises two bays. It features 20th-century leaded casement windows, with three 2-light windows on the ground floor and a 3-light window to the left and a 2-light window to the right on the first floor. Dormer windows in the gabled roof contain smaller 2-light casements of a similar design. An off-centre 19th-century 6-panelled door with toplights is set within a 20th-century gabled stone porch. A later 18th-century bay with matching 2-light windows is located to the left, and a 3-pane sash window is found in the rear wall. A lower bay, also with 2-light windows, is slightly set back to the right. The interior of the early 18th-century part contains stop-chamfered spine beams and a similar lintel over a fireplace. An old wooden winder staircase is positioned on the axis of a chimney stack.
