- II

House remains. Early C17; attic storey removed circa 1840, partly demolished in the 1960's. Sandstone ashlar with ashlar stacks, now roofless. The house has a chamfered plinth and survives to a height of 2 storeys in part. 4 window front: mullioned and transomed windows with concave quarter circle-moulded members. The central former 2- storey porch is stratigraphically later than the house; it gives access to a Tudor arch doorway with moulded surround terminating half way down the jambs. The right hand return retains a left hand doorway with a cyma recta moulded dripstone, and a right hand doorway with 3-centred arch and nail studded door. Interior. The ground and first floors are each divided into 2 front and 2 rear rooms. Each of these 8 rooms was heated by a fireplace with Tudor arch and ovolo-moulded surround, served by one of a pair of central chimney stacks. The front rooms were over cellars with blocked-stone mullioned windows towards the front. The remains of Bellamour Old Hall were in a neglected and dangerous condition at the time of the resurvey.
