Bel Alp HouseThe striking Edwardian architecture of Bel Alp House creates a superb first impression and sense of arrival. The house is not listed and has striking proportions synonymous with its era, within a manageable layout that ensures it works perfectly as a family home and for entertaining. Immediately noticeable is the abundance of natural light thanks to the double-glazed bay windows and high ceilings. The reception hall features a number of pillars and arches, separating the various areas of this wonderful open space.

The house combines the grandeur of its era with an incredibly welcoming and friendly atmosphere, which is felt immediately in the drawing room, with an enormous bay window giving breath-taking southerly views over the surrounding countryside and a wonderful fireplace restored by the current owners.

The kitchen forms the heart of the home and cements Bel Alp’s status as one of the finest family homes in the area. There is a large island, Aga and space for family dining. The proportions are superb, as is the design combining practicality with aesthetics. Double doors from the kitchen lead to the loggia, created to connect the kitchen with the dining room and open up the outstanding views. Also accessed from the loggia is the snug with fireplace, ideal for relaxing in the evening.

The rear of the house contains the practical elements, including a former commercial kitchen, providing numerous opportunities for conversion to another use such as a gym, subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents. There is plenty of storage, larders and a laundry. There is also a lift that goes to the basement, ground and first floors.

The grand proportions and superb finish continue to the first floor, where there are six bedrooms accessed from the substantial landing. Every bedroom is generous in size and the rooms to the front of the house have spectacular far reaching views from stunning bay windows. Each bedroom has an en suite bath or shower room, all of which are finished to a high standard and two of the bedrooms have dressing rooms.

On the second floor are two further bedrooms that share a shower room. There are a total of 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.

In addition, there is a 1 bedroom flat with its own kitchen, sitting room and bathroom, ideal for live in staff or additional guest accommodation.

The basement is an impressive size and occupies the same footprint as the ground floor. It offers numerous opportunities for various uses if required. There is a games room, snooker room with space for a full sized snooker table, wine cellar, boiler room and plenty of storage space.

Gardens, grounds and outbuildingsAccessed via a private road, Bel Alp House is surrounded by mature gardens and grounds, which give the house privacy and protection. At the end of the drive leading up to the house is a large parking and turning area.

Most of the 25 acres sits behind the house, where there are two paddocks and an extensive area of woodland. The paddocks slope gently up to the northernmost boundary where there is an area of new planting next to the woodland.

Immediately behind the house a gravelled path leads to an attractive former stables and tack room containing a range of garden stores, a workshop, a greenhouse and log store. Beyond this is a beautifully designed kitchen garden with raised beds protected by mature trees and hedges. A pathway leads from here to the tennis court above which is a magnificent area of parkland gardens with cut paths leading through a number of impressive specimen trees.

To the front of the house is a large terrace, ideal for summer entertaining, overlooking the large area of formal lawn. From here the magical far reaching views can be enjoyed. The house and front gardens are south facing, ensuring optimum sunlight all day.
