Accessing Scotland's Past Project

Built in the late eighteenth century, Bellachroy is a broad-fronted, two-storeyed, south-facing house standing two storeys high. At the rear of the house two single-storeyed wings create a courtyard fronting onto Maxwell Lane.

Overlooking the gardens, the southern facade of this Classical house is faced with ashlar (dressed stone). There is a pediment over the advanced central bay, which has flanking pilaster strips (projecting columns of masonry). The rear of the house features a large bay window in the centre of the building. The single-storeyed wings are built of plain coursed rubble.
