Description
Bellman Houses consists of a house with a granary extension to the east and an attached hay-barn with a cowhouse underneath, featuring a "spinning gallery" accessed by a flight of external stone stairs on the west side. The house dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It has limewashed rubble walls, a graduated greenslate roof, and stone end chimney stacks with slate cornices. The building is two storeys high and includes a boarded door and five irregular windows, all of which are Yorkshire sashes with glazing bars. There is a 20th-century three-light window in the link between the house and the granary. The barn, likely from the 18th century with a 19th-century gallery, features a rubble wall and a slate roof, with a chimney on the left, unglazed timber windows on the ground floor, and slit vents above.
