A Note From The Current Owner
"I was deeply drawn to Bellevue Park at first sighting. There was a peacefulness and quite beauty in the garden and an elegance in the old house.
The house was built and owned by Erna Keighley of the prominent Keighley family. Erna was a renowned activist and close friend of Jessie Street. Today there is still a frieze above the fireplace in the ballroom, depicting Erna elegantly riding to the Hunt at Broadmoor. I feel privileged to have shared an insight into her accomplished life.
There is much I will miss when I leave but the garden will be irreplaceable. Planted by Erna almost 90 years ago, it contains magnificent specimen trees including Oak, Spruce, Magnolia and Maple and flowering beauties in almost every variety of Rhododendron, Azalea and Camilla. This heritage foundation has been recently overlayed by the inspiration of Paul Bangay with Wisteria, Roses, Lavender, Rosemary and more trees. It is my greatest delight year-round, from the Snowdrops and Hellebores in late winter to Daffodils and Blue Bells and then in a quick spring moment the garden a mass of colour and beauty with the house dripping in Wisteria and Roses and swimming is a cycle of Seaside Daisies."
