Central entrance with deep recessed concave surround and square-headed entrance doorcase having fluted pilasters and pulvinated frieze set within. Square-headed window openings to ground and upper floors with three-over-three timber sash windows on the upper floor and six-over-six on the ground floor. Limestone surrounds with keystone to window openings and segmental headed limestone surrounds to basement openings. String couse at first floor sill course level. Bowed side elevation.

Appraisal
Bellair House, built for Thomas Horman Mulock (1765-1843), is almost identical in plan, and external and internal detailing, to Cangort Park House (see 14941001) and has thus been attributed with some certainty to Richard Morrison (1767-1849).
