Description
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Bellevue House has a lovely history, built in 1840 for the advocate, poet, angler, and writer Thomas Tod Stoddart, it is a superb Victorian villa. Stoddart, a well-known character in his time, was often seen with his fishing rods and net over his shoulder and a dog at his heel.
The property has been extended and retains many of its period features. It now offers bright, versatile, and well-proportioned accommodation. Original features include Victorian tiled flooring in the hall, original fireplaces, ornate plaster cornices in some rooms, an ornate leaded window in the first-floor skylight, and glazed leaded inner panels on either side of the front door.
The substantial accommodation includes a dining room, drawing room, study, kitchen, seven bedrooms, garden room, and utility room. The drawing room fireplace has had a chimney liner fitted ready for a log burner to be installed, if desired. Six of the bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, while the seventh bedroom features both an en-suite shower room and bath. This current layout offers scope to reconfigure the upstairs bedrooms and potentially have another bedroom with en-suite and dressing room, a bedroom with en-suite and three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The kitchen is equipped as a professional kitchen, with a six-burner Rangemaster stove, double oven with a commercial extraction system, and a larder. This large kitchen could be made back into a wonderful sized family kitchen. Bedroom seven on the ground floor is currently used as the owner’s quarters, complete with a dressing room, built-in wardrobes, en-suite shower, bath, and WC and this is a great option for older members of the family or anyone with mobility issues.
The garden room and utility room also offer scope to be reconfigured to provide a self-contained apartment with its own access from the rear of the house. This part of the property includes a fireproof corner area and ceiling to facilitate the installation of a multi-fuel stove.
A tool storeroom, accessed from the garden by the rear gate, has electric lighting installed. Additionally, there are two timber sheds, one housing the Biomass pellet boiler and water accumulator (the property also has a mains gas supply).
