Description
Bell-Tree House is a house featuring white painted stucco and close-eaved slate roofs, hipped on the south garden front. It stands three storeys tall with irregular facades facing the street and the south. The long east front, which faces the road, has a red brick stack at the right end and a four-window range set well to the right, with the windows closely spaced. The top floor has square nine-pane sashes, while the other floors have twelve-pane sashes. The windows in the second bay, above the doorway, appear to be 20th-century insertions. The ground floor has 20th-century windows in the two right bays, replacing twelve-pane sashes, and features an arched doorway with a six-panel door that includes both an overlight and a fanlight. The door is recessed, and the fanlight is flush with the wall face. The stucco surround from the 19th century has low-relief tapering pilasters, consoles, and a heavy cornice, which is similar to the doorcase on No. 32. It is noted that there was a window in place of the door in 1977.
On the south front, there is a long square-headed staircase window to the left of centre and a small twelve-pane sash on the ground floor to the left. To the right, there is a two-storey bay with a small-paned arched-headed window above, with the head breaking the eaves under the gable. The bay has a ground floor that curves at the top, suggesting it was originally designed as a curved bay, but it is now a three-sided bay with 20th-century French windows. Above this bay is a timber enclosed balcony from around 1900, featuring patterned slates hung below three depressed-arched fixed windows, with the centre light being wider. The roof is hipped and covered with slate.
The rear west elevation consists of three gabled bays. It was reported in 1977 that the house had a contemporary staircase and panelled doors, but it has been extensively altered in the later 20th century.
