Landmark Trust (with the help of generous and anonymous donors) has done a splendid job of restoration. Initially sceptical, I have been converted!
I finally made it to Belmont House....
I watched the Channel 4 programme broadcast on 14 October, 2015, the first in the series "Restoring Britain's Landmarks", which featured the restoration of Belmont House. Not a single mention of John Fowles!
Update, from The Times, October 24, 2015, from article by Andrew Riley:
"Little obvious trace of Fowles's ownership survives...In some ways it seems a missed opportunity not to have left even one room as Fowles had it".
I have to agree.
