Belhaven House, Duke Street, Belhaven, Dunbar

Belhaven House, located on Duke Street in Belhaven, Dunbar, dates from around 1825. This classical house features two storeys, a basement, and an attic, with five bays. It has a single-storey extension on the west elevation and a full-height wing to the north. The building was rendered and lined to resemble ashlar, with rusticated quoins at the front and harling at the rear.

The south entrance front includes a bracketed doorpiece, which is a later addition, and a flight of steps that oversails the basement, adorned with decorative cast-iron railings. There are two later 19th-century canted, slated dormers, and the windows have a four-pane glazing pattern. The roof is slated with a piend design and features end stacks.

Inside, there is a tripartite inner door leading to the vestibule, and the original panelled window shutters have been retained.

In the garden, there is an early 20th-century painted brick wall and archway, which includes a central seated lion on an undulated panel, flanked at the base by red sandstone urns.

The lodge, designed by Sir Robert Lorimer between 1911 and 1912, is a single-storey and attic Arts and Crafts cottage, with a later two-storey slate-hung extension to the north. It is constructed of squared, snecked rubble. The west entrance features a central ogee-roofed porch supported by low rubble walls and timber posts, with flanking windows. A diminutive piended dormer breaks the eaves to the east in a recessed bay. The windows are multi-pane casements located under swept slate eaves, with a coped rubble stack on the north slope of the roof.

The entrance gateway by the lodge consists of square gate piers that are rusticated on the roadside, topped with moulded caps and thistle finials. The decorative wrought-iron gates display the initials "BH." The gateway is flanked by squared rubble walls with semi-circular coping, and there is a narrow gate leading to the lodge, also featuring a wrought-iron gate.
