Property description

The East Pavilion, Belford Hall, Belford

Belford Hall is a magnificent Grade I listed Georgian manor house designed in the Palladian style and built of Ashlar and slate roof. The East Pavilion is a stunning apartment within Belford Hall, set in 24 acres of stunning shared gardens and parkland, including a small lake and woodland. The hall was designed by architect James Paine and built in the mid 1750’s with later additions by John Dobson.

This very well appointed home has excellent proportions and is set over the first and second floors of the hall. It has been carefully restored, retaining some of the original features including fireplaces, high ceilings, and sash windows, with the comforts of modern kitchen and bathroom facilities.

Approached by a set of stone steps, the accommodation includes a welcoming and spacious reception hallway. There is a stylish kitchen and dining room, and also a useful cloaks utility room incorporating a wc. The beautiful, formal drawing room, with study area, has wonderful views overlooking the parkland and lake. There are 3 spacious bedrooms, each benefitting from quality fitted en-suite facilities.

The apartment also has a garage and there is ample courtyard parking.

The East Pavilion also has the benefit of the shared use of the original, formal Drawing Room set within Belford Hall. This is a magnificent room, with panoramic views over the parkland, and is ideal for entertaining guests or family for special occasions.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful home with the grandeur of living within a magnificent manor house.
