Bainton Road, Tallington, PE9

Enveloped in almost half an acre of greenery, lawns and land, Portland House delivers solace before even setting foot through the front door. A home whose balanced design has seen minimal structural alterations over the decades, save for the addition of a garden room, Portland House is a home centred around family flow.

Welcome Home

Parking is plentiful, with a triple garage nestled beneath an open porch, with a spiral staircase providing access to a versatile loft room above, replete with eaves storage. A handy EV charger is discreetly positioned to the side of the home. Behind a buffer of greenery, a verandah offers space to sit and soak up the serenity of the surroundings, before stepping into the entrance hallway, where the warmth of wooden flooring and deep architraves creates an immediate sense of comfort and calm.

Entertaining Flow For Everyday Life

Ahead, the kitchen is the hub of the home, thoughtfully updated with timeless cabinetry, quartz worktops and an abundance of integrated appliances. A central island topped in wood doubles as a breakfast bar, homework station or cocktail perch, keeping culinary time sociable. Tucked to the front of the home, the sitting room has a quiet, rustic feel, revealing Portland House’s cosier side, nestled beneath thick treacle-toned beams and dressed in a mellow palette. A spacious family room for afternoon jigsaws, and perfect for reading, relaxing, or an evening film with the curtains drawn and the log burner blazing, this room epitomises the character and warmth at the heart of Portland House.

More To Discover

To the other side of the hallway, the family snug offers a calming retreat, with large windows framing the greenery beyond the verandah and drawing in natural light throughout the day. A white stone fireplace takes centre stage, its open fire filling the room with warmth during the winter months. A cosy yet accommodating room, there is plenty of space for both quiet nights in and family gatherings. Flowing naturally from here, the dining room is perfectly placed, private yet connected, with room to host everything from candlelit dinners to Christmas lunches. A statement chandelier casts soft light over the table, as picture windows frame garden views that shift with the seasons. After dinner, ebb and flow between the sitting room and the conservatory, an inviting borderland between indoors and out, ideal for relaxing and unwinding, whether for afternoon tea, evening drinks, or simply time to watch the garden grow.

And So To Bed

When the day is done and the sun sets, rest and repose in one of Portland House’s four sumptuous bedrooms. The largest, currently used as a guest suite, feels more like its own apartment, sumptuously sized with room to lounge, read and relax, replete with built-in wardrobes. Whether hosting visitors or giving teenagers a space of their own, it serves as an oasis of comfort. Refresh and revive in the family bathroom, with centrally filling bathtub, wash basin and lavatory.

Sanctuary and Slumber

Sanctuary awaits in the principal suite, a calm and cocooning space where a statement wall sets the tone. Windows frame idyllic views out over the garden, while built-in wardrobes provide ample storage. Freshen up in peace and privacy in the elegant, modern en suite, complete with a large walk-in shower, vanity basin and elegant panelling for a traditional twist. The two further bedrooms are equally inviting. One features twin beds but could easily take a super-king, while the other offers built-in wardrobes and a warm, light-filled feel, ideal for children, guests, or even a dedicated home office, depending on need.

Mature Gardens

Framed by mature hedging and brimming with sights and scents, the garden at Portland House unfolds in beautifully planted ‘rooms’. A suntrap terrace overflows with colour and pots, perfect for coffee or evening drinks. Wander through sculpted lawns and herbaceous borders to find the summerhouse, orchard trees, a pergola laced in wisteria and a pond alive with lily pads and nature. From shaded benches to sun-drenched corners, this lovingly nurtured garden is ripe for family afternoons and mornings spent pottering about in a pair of gardening gloves.
