Description
Description
Belmont Grange presents a rare opportunity to acquire what is essentially a small estate in South Norfolk, offering the tranquillity of rural living with excellent transport connections thanks to its proximity to a mainline railway station.
Set within approximately 14.5 acres of parkland-style grounds, the house dates back to around 1840 and showcases striking Gothic-inspired architecture. Grade II listed to preserve its heritage, the property has been sympathetically updated and extended by the current owners to create a superb family home.
The main accommodation includes four reception rooms, beginning with a grand reception hall. The sitting and drawing rooms, formal dining room, and garden room all feature elegant period details, with distinctive Gothic elements that set the property apart from more conventional homes.
Upstairs, six bedrooms occupy the first floor, including a stunning principal suite with a dressing room and spacious en suite. Two further bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities, while the remaining rooms are served by a family bathroom. One bedroom also enjoys access to a private balcony with commanding views over the grounds.
Additional practical spaces include a utility room, two ground-floor cloakrooms, and a cellar with two store rooms. An attractive inner courtyard connects three outbuildings, offering a storage room, two plant rooms, store cupboard and a gardeners cloakroom.
Further accommodation is provided via three separate cottages and a one-bedroom apartment, ideal for multi-generational living or income generation. Two of the cottages offer two bedrooms each, while the third—currently nearing completion—features three bedrooms and open-plan living. A separate studio space with kitchen units (and sink) and cloakroom offers flexible use and a further games room with shower room/cloakroom which could be used as a cinema or perhaps a large gym, enhances the property's appeal as a family estate.
Outside
Belmont Grange is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway leading to the main house and parking area. Parking is provided by a triple-bay cart lodge, a garage, and ample driveway space. A modern two-storey steel barn with electric roller doors offers versatile use, ideal for classic car storage, a workshop, or potential equestrian facilities.
The grounds, extending to approximately 14.5 acres, are laid out in a parkland style and include a variety of features that add both character and function. Highlights include an original greenhouse, walled kitchen garden, woodland walks, expansive lawns, and an outdoor entertaining area centred around a brick-built summer house. This building includes a wet room with cloakroom and a seating area, plus kitchen units (with sink).
