Belmont House is a grand 6-bedroom vacation home located in Salisbury, Wiltshire, in the South of England. Built in 1835, this historic house retains many original features, including large ornate rooms with painted ceilings, elaborate cornicing, and marble fireplaces. The property is often used as a film location due to its period drama ambiance and stunning views of the river Avon and Salisbury Cathedral spire from its gardens.
The house is spread over 3 floors, with a lower ground level featuring a large kitchen with a 4-oven aga, a boot room, and a second kitchen for extra cooking space. The middle floor boasts 4 reception rooms, including a formal drawing room, sitting rooms with televisions and log burners, a dining room, and a Morning Room with an elaborate white marble fireplace. Upstairs, there are 5 double bedrooms, one with an additional single bed, and 3 bathrooms, one of which is ensuite. The lower ground level also includes a 6th bedroom with a kingsized bed or 2 single beds and an ensuite bathroom.
While children are welcome at Belmont House, the property may not be suitable for toddlers due to the old-fashioned staircase and multiple stairs throughout the house. The location of the vacation home offers easy access to the natural beauty of Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, as well as nearby attractions such as New Forest National Park and theme parks like Paultons Family Theme Park. Guests can also enjoy activities like game walks, birdwatching, and visiting local attractions like Forest Falconry and Wessex Raceway/Virtual Warfare.
