A BEAUTIFULLY restored Georgian property with four reception rooms, four double bedrooms and two bathrooms has come onto the market in Milnthorpe.

As its name suggests, Bela House is set alongside the River Bela, with Dallam Deer Park beyond.

This sumptuous property was built around 1740 for a mill owner.

Since then it has been sympathetically extended and renovated several times to create an enviable family home that evokes all the elegance of the Georgian era - high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces, parquet flooring and a light and airy feel.

The front hall gives the first glimpse of the intricately carved woodwork featured in many of the rooms, believed to have been sourced from Kimbolton Castle.

The living room is the first of four beautiful reception rooms and features an original fire surround with acanthus leaves and festoons in the Chippendale style. A stunning, accoya wood orangery with self-cleaning glass added in 2015, overlooks the river to the deer park.

At the heart of the home is a spacious and superbly equipped dining kitchen with marble-topped units, a three-oven AGA and a walk-in pantry with champagne chiller.

An antique pine-spindled staircase leads up past a full-length Venetian gallery window to four double bedrooms, all with river views, and two bathrooms.

The acre of grounds, meanwhile, include landscaped lawns and flagged stone patios, 175 metres of single-bank fishing rights, a private driveway and a covered carport.
