8 bedroom house

Belvedere is Grade II listed and sits in a majestic position on the Exe Estuary with far reaching views over the river from a private elevated position surrounded by nearly 13 acres of gardens and grounds. Indoor swimming pool and spa facilities, tennis court, outbuildings and separate lodge.

Belvedere is a Grade II listed house of intriguing Georgian
crenelated architecture standing in a majestic elevated position above the Exe Estuary with outstanding views of
the water. Unusually for a waterfront property, the house is not overlooked from any direction thanks to the wonderful established gardens and mature woodland.

Numerous and significant improvements have been made
to the house, and it now stands as an ideal family home with ample space for entertaining. The kitchen and breakfast room form the heart of the house, with a beautiful open archway between the two rooms. This leads to the drawing room, perhaps the most impressive reception room in the house with magnificent proportions. The vast windows and glass doors give exceptional views over the gardens, beyond the ha-ha wall to the estuary beyond.

The indoor pool area is of a grand scale, with glass doors down one side giving access to the patio and views over the gardens and estuary. There is a hot tub, two shower rooms, a sauna, tanning room and the plant room. The gym is particularly impressive and sits in a double height octagonal building.

At the entrance to the drive to Belvedere and behind the entrance gates sits the Grade II listed gate lodge. with an open plan kitchen / breakfast room and living room, a bedroom and bathroom.

Belvedere sits centrally within its immaculately kept grounds, which consist of landscaped formal gardens, paddock, woodland and an orchard.
