Description

Bellside Lodge, built around 1890, is a single-storey, three-bay cottage ornee with an asymmetrical design. It features a gabled bay on the right with overhanging eaves and decorative pierced barge boarding. The principal elevation is constructed of coursed sandstone, while the rear is made of rubble with ashlar quoins and window margins, along with an ashlar base course.

On the south (principal) elevation, there is a studded timber door at the center, adorned with decorative cast-iron strap hinges, plain dressed ashlar jambs and lintel, and a penticed slated hood. To the right, the advanced gabled bay includes an 8-point star panel with the initials JH at the gablehead and a canted window with a half piended roof. To the left, there is a bipartite window featuring a stugged architrave and a gable that breaks the eaves.

The north (rear) elevation has three diminishing gabled bays, with the outer right serving as a service porch. The left side has an advanced gable end bay made of squared random rubble with a rectangular window.

On the east (side) elevation, there are windows in the center and right, both with stugged architraves, and a canted window on the right with ashlar stone margins. The west (side) elevation displays irregular fenestration.

The building retains 8-pane timber sash and case windows on the side and rear, but has modern windows that are out of character on the front. The roof is covered with concrete tiles, and there are ashlar coped stacks and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 2000. The boundary walls consist of an ashlar dwarf wall topped with saddle-back coping, along with flower-finialled cast-iron railings.
