Description

Bells Court, now divided into flats, was probably built in the 18th century and was modernised in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of stucco over stone rubble, with plastered brick chimney shafts and slate roofing. The building originally had a plan consisting of a single room depth and two rooms in width, incorporating a central entrance hall and a carriageway through the right end.

The three-storey exterior has a stucco front resembling ashlar. The asymmetrical front elevation features a 2:1:1 window arrangement with twelve, sixteen, and four-pane sashes. A recessed doorway to the left of centre has a part-glazed four-panel door. The carriageway to the right has a segmental arched head. The eaves are plain, and the roof is between adjoining properties. There is a carriageway leading through to a rear courtyard.

The rear of the main building mainly has 20th-century windows, but the ancillary buildings retain a character reflecting their industrial or service use, with features such as an unglazed window, an overhanging link block, sections of old weatherboarding, and a loading hatch.

The interior, only partially inspected, showed panelled doors, but largely resulted from 20th-century modernisation. A staircase has been removed, though older joinery and other features are suspected to remain.
