Description
Bielgrange is a classical farmhouse built in 1803 by Charles Ritchie. It is two stories high with three main bays and has single-story, single-bay wings, along with an addition to the west that dates from around 1840. The building is constructed from coursed red and grey sandstone ashlar, featuring a base course and an eaves cornice, with a blocking course on the eastern elevation and the single-story wings.
The eastern elevation is symmetrical, with three two-story bays at the center. The ground floor has blind segmentally arched panels, each with a window, and a cill course below the smaller first-floor windows. There are windows on each floor of the bays, with the first-floor windows being smaller. A stone-bracketed canopy shelters the doorway, which has a panelled door and a blind window above it. Each single-story wing has a window, with the right wing featuring a smaller window next to a re-entrant angle.
On the northern elevation, there is a triple segmental arcade with a parapet above the eaves of the lean-to roof behind it, and narrow windows in the center and left bays. The southern elevation has a piend-roofed single-story service building that projects at ground level, likely added around 1840, contemporaneously with the west addition.
Inside, the farmhouse features a winding stair, a bowed wall in the hall and dining room, panelled doors and window shutters, some decorative plasterwork, and a classical timber chimneypiece. The sash and case windows have a small-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates and has lead flashings, while the ashlar wallhead stacks add to the structure's character.
The property includes a terrace and retaining walls, with rubble walls forming a curved ha-ha by the eastern elevation. To the west, there are ashlar-coped rubble retaining walls adorned with decorative cast- and wrought-iron railings and gates.
