The hamlet of Beltingham is home to the gothic St Cuthbert’s church and this Georgian dower house, long held within the Bowes-Lyon family. The Grade II-listed property sits within grounds of just under two acres, its stone elevations defined by deep-set sash windows and restrained cornicing.
The house is entered through a central hall, where the original staircase rises beneath a shallow arch. The main rooms sit off this space. The drawing room is well proportioned, with tall windows and a fireplace, and connects to a secondary sitting room overlooking the south-facing lawn. A separate dining room faces the front garden.
