Ancillary Building, Bellabeg

The Ancillary Building at Bellabeg is a former bank and bank house dating from the mid to late 19th century, with some elements from around 1900. It is a two-storey, three-bay gabled structure, accompanied by a later single-storey and attic, two-bay L-plan shop and post office. This building is prominently located on a corner site in the center of Bellabeg village, directly across from the Village Hall.

The bank house features striking diamond-aligned stacks, finialled gables, dormer gablets, a castellated porch, beak skewputts, and decorative rainwater goods. The shop also has decorative skewputts. The exterior is finished with whitewashed harl, complemented by a contrasting granite base course, quoin strips, and margins, which are stop-chamfered at the door. The windows have mullions and cills.

On the south elevation, the bank house is positioned to the left, showcasing an advanced full-height gable in the left bay, a porch, and gabletted window heads that break the eaves in the center and right bays. The shop is located to the right, featuring a broad advanced gable on the left.

The east elevation, facing Glen Nochty Road, presents a gabled facade with two large fixed display windows. The outer angles are canted back and topped with scrolled skewputts, while the gablehead includes a blind oculus that has been later fitted with a louvre.

Inside, the building retains some moulded cornices, panelled shutters, and a screen door with an etched glass panel from its time as a bank. The windows are timber sash and case, featuring four-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slates and includes traditional rooflights. The grouped, coped ashlar diamond-aligned stacks and ashlar-coped skews are adorned with decorative skewputts, and there are cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers.

Additionally, there is a single-storey L-plan ancillary building to the northeast, which has boarded timber doors, two altered garage openings, grey slates, and traditional rooflights.
