Description

Bellbridge Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, built for the Bell family, as indicated by the coat-of-arms above the entrance. The building features painted rendered walls, an eaves cornice, and V-jointed quoins. It has a Welsh slate roof with coped gables and stone chimney stacks. The structure is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a rear extension that is from the late 17th century, while the lower three-bay section to the right is earlier.

The left portion of the farmhouse includes a top-glazed six-panel door set in a bolection architrave, topped with a swan-neck pediment that encloses a carved stone coat-of-arms. The windows are cross-mullioned, with the ground floor right window featuring a 20th-century French window, although it remains partly within the original surround. The right portion has a 20th-century door in a chamfered surround, topped with a hoodmould. The ground floor features 20th-century steel casement windows, with original small chamfered-surround windows above them. The rear of the farmhouse has doors and windows set in 19th-century surrounds. There is also a single-storey right-angled extension at the front right, which has a stone slate roof, a chamfered-surround doorway, and flanking 20th-century windows.
