Description
8 Bellfield Street is an early 19th century terraced classical house that may have undergone later alterations or possibly a complete reconstruction on the site of an older building. It is two stories high and has three bays. The exterior features droved and painted ashlar stone at the front, with rubble at the rear. There is a base course, a cill course at the first floor, a cornice (which is overstepped to the right by No 6), and a blocking course.
On the southeast (principal) elevation, there is a deep-set door in the right bay, which has a 4-pane fanlight above it, along with a window at the first floor directly above. The flanking bays on the centre and left each have windows on both floors.
The northwest (rear) elevation includes single-storey extensions to the outer bays. The windows throughout the building are 4-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring a piend and platformed design, with ashlar skews. There are rendered mutual end stacks and a brick wallhead stack located at the rear.
The interior was not seen in 1994. The boundary walls are made of rubble with coping.
