Central portion projects slightly, this has doorway in plain reveal, panelled door with rectangular light over, inscribed stone over door `BELLOTTS'. Plain windows with relieving arches over on ground floor, the arches are made up of alternate blocks of limestone and pennant stone. All six over six sashes with sills on consoles. Coat-of-arms over door in arched recess, below arms is inscription panel and dates `Founded 1608 Rebuilt 1859'.

HISTORY: The original foundation was by Thomas Bellott in c1608 and was for `such poor diseased persons being not infected with any contagious disease as shall resort and come to the said City of Bathe'. By the mid C19 it was in a state of picturesque decay, and put to shame by the adjacent Royal United Hospital (opened 1826 qv), and was thus rebuilt to its present `less ornamental than useful' (1875) design in 1859.
