Situation Bel Alp House sits in an elevated south facing position, commanding some of Dartmoor’s finest views. The house is nestled in beautiful countryside just below Haytor, one of Dartmoor’s best-known landmarks on the eastern edge of the national park. The location offers the rare combination of seclusion and privacy with convenience and practicality. To the north of the property is open moorland and some of the country’s most picturesque countryside and yet Bel Alp House is highly accessible thanks to the good quality access roads and is within easy reach of local amenities. There is a pub called The Rock Inn within walking distance of the house and Bovey Tracey is about three miles away and offers a range of everyday and specialist shops as well as a farmer’s market. Dartmoor National Park is renowned for its spectacular scenery with granite tors, heather clad moorland and wooded valleys bisected by running streams and rivers. There are numerous opportunities for walking, riding, cycling and country pursuits. The Cathedral city of Exeter is about 20 miles away and offers a wide selection of shops, restaurants, cafes and cultural attractions. The mainline station in Exeter provides a direct service to London Paddington taking from 2 hours 3 minutes and Exeter Airport offers flights to and from a number of domestic and European destinations. There is also a mainline station at Newton Abbot, about 9 miles away, with a direct service to London Paddington taking from 2 hours 28 minutes. There are several highly regarded schools in the area, including Exeter School, The Maynard, Stover in Newton Abbot and Mount Kelly in Tavistock.

Gardens, grounds and outbuildings Accessed via a private road, Bel Alp House is surrounded by mature gardens and grounds, which give the house privacy and protection. At the end of the drive leading up to the house is a large parking and turning area. Most of the 25 acres sits behind the house, where there are two paddocks and an extensive area of woodland. The paddocks slope gently up to the northernmost boundary where there is an area of new planting next to the woodland. Immediately behind the house a gravelled path leads to an attractive former stables and tack room containing a range of garden stores, a workshop, a greenhouse and log store. Beyond this is a beautifully designed kitchen garden with raised beds protected by mature trees and hedges. A pathway leads from here to the tennis court above which is a magnificent area of parkland gardens with cut paths leading through a number of impressive specimen trees. To the front of the house is a large terrace, ideal for summer entertaining, overlooking the large area of formal lawn. From here the magical far reaching views can be enjoyed. The house and front gardens are south facing, ensuring optimum sunlight all day.
