The Bellhouse

The Bellhouse is a building dating from around 1800, with a front that belongs to a late 17th century house. It has two storeys and is rendered. The cornice features a bead mould, and there is a parapet with three balustered panels. The roof is made of pantiles. The building has three windows with glazing bar sashes. The central door has an edge-roll surround and cut brackets supporting a moulded flat hood, with a six-panel door where the upper four panels are shaped. At the rear, there is a stair turret with a two-storey gable on the right and two gables on the left.

Inside, the house retains several late 17th century features, particularly the staircase, which is axial with a doorway. It has oak squat turned balusters and a straight string, with incised risers; the attic landing is a later addition. The front room on the south side includes an arched display cupboard, while the north front room retains some panelling believed to date from the 17th century. Two attic rooms have arabesque hinges on their two-panelled doors. At the cellar level, the window frames are wooden and ovolo moulded. This house was associated with Lewis Cockey, a notable local figure, and later became known as the 'Clothiers' Arms'.
