3 Situation Belmont Grange is situated on the edge of the village of Scole, which has local amenities including the historic Scole Inn. Good access onto the A143 and A140. Diss Station, 2 miles to the west, provides a regular mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street with a journey time of about 90 minutes and about 20 minutes to Norwich. Diss has a good range of amenities including two supermarkets. Norwich, the regional centre, is about 20 miles north and a choice of highly regarded schools, a wide range of amenities and an international airport. Bury St Edmunds, the historic market town, also has an excellent range of shops and local amenities and there are other schools nearby in both the private and public sector. Belmont Grange Belmont Grange is a stunning property that offers the rare combination of an exceptional location, breathtaking views, landscaped gardens, luxury accommodation and first class interior design, which dates from about The house is of gothic style with an asymmetrical design and stuccoed brick with rusticated quoins. The majority of windows have distinct arch casements with intersecting glazing bars. The house has been meticulously restored and modernised to provide first class family accommodation over two storeys. Of particular note is the beautiful reception hall/ drawing room, which has some fascinating decorative cornicing, and wonderful plasterwork and mouldings on the ceiling. There is a magnificent marble fireplace with a wood burning stove and a slate hearth. From the principal reception rooms there are wonderful views over the surrounding gardens and grounds. In the kitchen, there is a four oven Aga and granite work surfaces. Another particular feature is the arch doorways and windows, which are consistent throughout the property. The windows and French doors are particularly large at Belmont Grange thus providing extremely light accommodation. There are excellent ceiling heights throughout the house and an open fire in the sitting room and dining room.

4 On the first floor there is a spacious Master suite which has delightful views over the gardens and grounds and a large en-suite bathroom which has a double basin with marble surround and a large bath and shower. The bathroom also has its own private balcony overlooking the garden. The house has excellent storage space and an impressive wine cellar. Other particular features of Belmont Grange is the warmth from the under floor heating that permeates through the elegant oak flooring. All windows and doors have working shutters and upstairs, in addition to the bedrooms and bathrooms, there is a charming library area. Gardens and Grounds Belmont Grange is approached via a gravel driveway which sweeps through the parkland and is bordered by estate railing ending in a parking and turning area outside both the main house, the cottages, car port and large barn/ workshop. The areas are well divided and a large mature yew hedge helps this. Surrounding the southern and eastern side of the house is a substantial paved terrace, which looks over the formal gardens to the east of the house. This area is mostly laid to lawn and interspersed with a variety of wonderful coniferous and broadleaf trees including a superb Beech and monkeypuzzle tree. There is a network of paths and a fantastic flowerbed and shrub border which abuts a historic Crinkle Crankle wall which forms part of the walled garden. The parkland for Belmont Grange is mostly to the south and west of the house and would be ideal for equestrian use. Incidentally, the large barn/workshop would be ideal for American-style stabling. The walled garden is mainly laid to lawn and there is a recently completed summerhouse next to the pond, which provides wonderful seclusion and privacy. There are greenhouses which are south facing and a number of fruit trees. To add additional colour to the garden there is well established wisteria on the crinkle crankle wall and some wonderful roses. There are a number of smaller outbuildings closer to Belmont Grange surrounding the courtyard including potting sheds, flower rooms, the plant room and general garden stores.
