Bellhouse was born at Manchester. He made his debut in first-class cricket for Manchester against Sheffield at Sheffield.[1] He played in first-class matches for Manchester against Sheffield on ten occasions between 1846 and 1854, including on three occasions when the matches were billed as Lancashire v Yorkshire in 1849 and 1851.[1] He appeared in a first-class match for the Gentlemen of England against the Gentlemen of the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1853, as well as appearing in two North v South for the North in 1855 and 1856.[1] He played for Manchester against Sussex in 1858, before making a final first-class appearance for Gentlemen of the North against the Gentlemen of the South at The Oval in 1859.[1] Across fifteen first-class matches, Bellhouse scored 240 runs at an average of 8.57, with a high score of 40.[2]

Outside of cricket he worked as an architect and a watercolour artist.[3] He was responsible for designing the grandstand at Knutsford Racecourse.[3] He died at Weston in Bath in December 1906, where he was buried at Locksbrook Weston Cemetery.[4] His brother, Thomas Bellhouse, also played first-class cricket.
