Lake Road, Portishead, Bristol

A Rare One-Off Design on Portishead’s Most Desirable Road
Set on one of Portishead’s premier addresses, this unique home offers striking architectural design with direct access to the historic Lake Grounds. A true one-off, it combines individuality, location and lifestyle in one exceptional package – the perfect opportunity for those seeking something special.

Tucked away behind a five-bar gate on one of Portishead’s most desirable roads, this individually designed home offers a truly unique opportunity. A sweeping driveway leads to generous parking and a detached garage, while the substantial front garden provides privacy and a sense of arrival rarely found in such a central setting. From the front terrace, there are views across the historic Lake Grounds and cricket pavilion – a picture-postcard outlook that perfectly frames this exceptional position.

The ground floor of this remarkable home has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its position and character. The heart of the house is the country-style kitchen/diner, where the current owners have added a striking front-facing extension. This versatile room now provides space for both living and dining areas, its vaulted ceiling enhancing the feeling of light and space, while a wood-burning stove adds a cosy sense of warmth. A run of floor-to-ceiling windows along the front captures the outstanding outlook over the Lake Grounds. From here, double doors lead through to a generous living room, complete with a large front-facing picture window and a feature fireplace – a warm and inviting room to relax in while enjoying the views. Also positioned to the front of the property is the master bedroom. With built-in wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and the same fantastic outlook, it offers both comfort and convenience on the ground floor. The accommodation is completed by a spacious entrance hall laid with flagstone-style flooring, a useful utility room, a downstairs WC, and a formal dining room overlooking the rear garden – perfect for hosting or as a flexible second reception space. At the rear, a hallway and staircase rise to the first floor.

The first floor is arranged around a light-filled landing, where a rear-facing window brings in plenty of natural daylight. From here, you are led to Bedrooms Two and Three – both generously proportioned doubles, each with built-in storage and glazed sliding doors opening directly onto the first-floor balcony. From this elevated position, the views across the Lake Grounds are simply outstanding. Also on this level is a well-appointed family bathroom, fitted with a four-piece suite including a corner bath and separate shower. Completing the first floor is Bedroom Four, currently utilised as a study and walk-in dressing room, offering excellent flexibility to suit individual needs.

This outstanding property is set within an impressive plot, with the rear garden cleverly arranged over a series of terraces. Thoughtfully landscaped with decorative planters and seating areas, each level makes the most of the fantastic outlook, creating a garden that is both practical and visually striking.
At the far end of the garden sits a detached log cabin, providing excellent additional accommodation or guest space. The cabin includes a living area, kitchenette, shower room and a mezzanine bedroom, making it fully self-contained. A front-facing terrace completes the cabin, perfectly positioned to take in elevated views towards the Lake Grounds.
