Description
Belan Hall is a building constructed in 1887, located in a narrow area off the Cledan valley, approximately 2.0 kilometers southwest of Llanerfyl, and surrounded by mature evergreen trees. It was reportedly built for the Chamberlain family of Birmingham as part of a small shooting estate. The date and initials 'AC' are displayed on a shield on the southwest gable.
The exterior features painted framed clapboarding in a style reminiscent of New England. The building is designed as a two-storey square pavilion topped with a pyramidal slate roof. The southeast front includes a raised verandah that is open to the living room, while the rear has a long range of single-storey service rooms. The square block has two-storey gabled extensions on either side, with small paned timber casement windows that have bracketed hoods on the southwest gable. The wide open eaves are supported by shaped brackets, and there is an iron terminal wind vane. The rear service wing has two gabled projections on the southwest side and features tall brick stacks.
The interior was not accessible during the inspection in October 1995. Belan Hall is listed as a highly inventive and unusual building, purpose-built as a hunting lodge.
