Description

Occupying an enviable and commanding position on sought-after Woodhill Road, this remarkable five-bedroom Victorian residence, believed to date from circa 1835, is one of Portishead’s original homes and offers an exceptional blend of historic character and contemporary living. Boasting far-reaching views across the Lake Grounds and towards the estuary to the rear, the property has been thoughtfully and comprehensively renovated by the current owners over the past eleven years, creating a truly outstanding family home.

Property Description

Approaching the property, the home immediately impresses with its strong curb appeal. A driveway provides off-street parking for two to three vehicles and leads to a double garage with an electric door. Internal stairs from the garage descend conveniently to the utility room within the main house. To the left of the property, there is separate access to a beautifully finished self-contained annex currently utilised by the owners as a successful Airbnb. This stylish studio space includes a kitchenette and a luxurious four-piece bathroom, while also benefiting from internal access to the main house for added flexibility.

Ground Floor

Upon entering the main residence, you are welcomed by a spacious and grand entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home. On this level there are two studies – one large and one smaller – offering ideal spaces for home working. A WC and useful storage complete the floor. The elegant living room is a superb space for entertaining and relaxation, with double doors opening onto an impressive balcony. This generous outdoor area provides panoramic views over the Lake Grounds and estuary and also features stairs leading down to the rear garden.

Lower Floor

The lower floor of the property is centred around an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living space designed for modern family life. Bi-fold doors open directly onto a patio, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor flow that is perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. At the heart of the kitchen sits a large marble island which doubles as a breakfast bar. High-quality integrated Neff appliances include a large multi-use induction hob with a rising extractor, two ovens, a microwave oven, a proving drawer and a dishwasher. There is an abundance of eye and base level cabinetry providing ample storage. A generous separate utility and laundry room sits just off the kitchen and benefits from internal stair access to the garage. The dining area is particularly striking, featuring exposed stonework and a fascinating historic well, creating a unique focal point within the home. This level also includes access to a wine cellar and a doorway leading through to the annex.

Upper Floors

Across the upper two floors, the property offers five well-proportioned double bedrooms. The top floor hosts three bedrooms served by a contemporary shower room. On the middle floor are two further bedrooms, both enjoying ensuite shower rooms. The impressive principal bedroom features a dual aspect and enjoys breathtaking views, along with an abundance of space. A dressing room on this floor also houses the home’s heating system.

Outside

Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and provides a peaceful and private setting. It features a patio seating area ideal for outdoor entertaining and a charming pond, creating a tranquil backdrop to this wonderful home. Perfectly positioned within easy reach of the Lake Grounds, Portishead town centre and the marina development, this unique period property offers a rare opportunity to own one of the town’s historic homes, beautifully reimagined for modern living. A truly remarkable residence.
