Belmont House

Belmont House is a small country house built in the early 19th century for Grylls, a banker; it was later remodelled in the mid- to late 19th century and subsequently used as a boys' school. The house is built of textured stucco on rubble, with a plinth and mid-floor band. Sections of the left-hand return and rear are clad in asbestos slate, and the roof is covered with asbestos slate, with a half-conical roof over the central part of the garden front. It has projecting eaves and two brick axial stacks.

The building has a U-shaped plan, with two projecting wings at the rear. The front is arranged with three rooms, a stair hall behind the central room, an entrance hall behind the room on the right, a study beyond that, and service rooms at the rear on the left.

The symmetrical garden front has three bays, with a bowed central bay. It features original or mid-19th century Gothic-style hornless sash windows with two-centred arched heads. A similar arrangement of windows is found on the right-hand return, with a recessed entrance bay third from the left. This entrance bay has a two-centred arched doorway with a six-panel door, flanked by two small pointed casement windows, a hood-mould, and a deep hood. The rear of the house includes an arched stair sash window.

The interior, where inspected, features mid- to late-19th century details such as panelled doors, moulded plaster ceiling cornices with bands, and an open-well, open-string staircase with turned balusters.
