Communal use

From 1949 to 1961 Beltwood was a children's hospital, first named as ''Sydenham Invalid Babies Nursery'' in 1949. By 1954 it was referred to as the ''Babies Hospital'' and had 35 beds. It was run by an adoption agency called ''The Mission of Hope'' and had two babies’ wards downstairs and a toddlers’ nursery upstairs. In 1961 the hospital closed, and the house was refurbished and used as a Hall of Residence for about fifty Dental Therapy students for about 15 years. The house then became a

Notoriety during 2001–2007

The house was purchased in 2001 by an American woman, Miss Tracy Thier, for £1.1 million. A refurbishment programme led to the house being registered as a hotel, with the intention of running events such as weddings, conferences and parties, with some advertisements describing the venue as a "night club". A party named ''La Funk Royale'' was held in December 2004, and events on 17 July and 28 August 2005 brought complaints to the council from members of the public about noise. There were also licensing issues, and the functions ceased. During the autumn of 2006

JKSW Architects stated in mid-2011 that they had a brief to secure planning approval for a development of five contemporary houses within the grounds, to restore Beltwood house "''to its former glory''", to enlarge the small Gate House, and to restore the grounds. They worked with Alan Baxter & Associates (heritage consultants) and Lloyd Bore (landscape and gardens). English Heritage, in their October 2011 publication ''Heritage at Risk'', described the condition of the property as "fair", with the observation: "''Building contains fine interiors, but currently vacant and suffering effects of water ingress. The curtilage buildings (stables, lodge, two cottages and animal store) are in a poor state of repair.''" In November 2011 the property was again put on the market through Hamptons International estate agents with an asking price of £5,750,000. The particulars include full floor plans and photographs. In 2013, a visualisation of plans for development of the site, including restoration of the house and formal gardens and the construction of eight new houses, were published by Thomas Stoney Bryans for John Smart Architects. Planning permission was granted in March 2018 for the current owner, through his architects Cuozzo Fleming Architects, to create 13 residential units on the site. Seven of these were to be formed through subdivision of the house, five were new-build dwellings within the grounds, and the
