Description

This charming period property presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment, featuring two well-proportioned bedrooms and an array of flexible living spaces across three floors. The generous layout is complemented by an expansive plot, providing ample outdoor space that could be optimized for landscaping or further development. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a hallway that reflects the home’s character. To either side, two bright reception rooms offer versatility in their use—whether as a cozy living area and traditional dining space or as a snug retreat and children's playroom. These rooms are further enhanced by the natural light filtering through the windows. At the rear of the property lies a spacious kitchen diner, designed to accommodate family gatherings with ease. Its practical configuration makes it suitable for both everyday meals and entertaining guests. Adjacent to the kitchen is a third reception room that currently functions as a dining area but opens up into a sunlit conservatory—a delightful space ideal for enjoying views of the garden while sipping morning coffee. A convenient cloakroom and additional storage options can be found on this level, enhancing functionality. Moving upstairs, you will find two sizable double bedrooms. The main bedroom is bathed in natural light and offers plenty of space for furnishings. The second bedroom also provides ample room, making it ideal for children, guests, or even as a home office setup. This floor is completed with a family bathroom that serves daily needs with practicality. The top floor features an accessible attic space with potential uses ranging from storage to creative workspace or even an informal sleeping area (not compliant with building regulations). With eaves storage on both sides and inviting sloping ceilings, this attic adds unique charm and versatility to the home. Located on desirable Southwell Street, this property benefits from proximity to local shops, schools, and Portland’s scenic coastline. Its combination of period features and potential for modernization makes it an appealing prospect for those looking to invest in renovation opportunities within a vibrant community.
