Description

This imposing old house was built of handmade bricks over different periods - no doubt the oldest part being what was the central watch tower. In the early 1990's it was restored for the present owner and a swimming pool built. It sits in fenced and gated grounds of about an acre which have been thoughtfully planned to proved good but inobtrusive car parking with room for turning as well as various places to enjoy the garden at different times of the day. The house is full of charm and character with brick arches, chestnut beams, terracotta tiles, old wood doors and niches. The windows are double-glazed and there is central heating. Bellaria has been used successfully for rental purposes but the owner has also used it as a home for some of the time. This is a lovely house, habitable immediately and in need only of usual maintenance/personal touches.
