Tucked away just off Beach Road West, this charming three-bedroom maisonette enjoys a wonderfully private setting while being only a short distance from Portishead’s iconic Lake Grounds and Lido. Boasting breathtaking views across the estuary and stretching towards the Welsh coastline, this unique home occupies an enviable position within a characterful conversion of a former hotel and wartime hospital, now thoughtfully arranged into four individual maisonettes—each benefitting from allocated parking and their own private garden space.
Property Information
Approached via a private lane, the property immediately impresses as the surroundings open out into beautifully maintained grounds, thoughtfully divided to provide each residence with its own private outdoor space, creating a sense of arrival that feels truly special. This home enjoys its own private garden, predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a decked seating area perfectly positioned to take in the far-reaching views. A charming walled courtyard offers an ideal spot for outdoor dining or entertaining. There is a pretty allotment-style garden which comes as part of the property, with a small stream running through it, forming part of Rockleigh for those who enjoy being self sustaining. To the side of the building, there is allocated parking along with access to an EV charger.
First Floor
The property is entered via its own private entrance, leading into a welcoming hallway—ideal for coats and shoes. Stairs rise to the first floor, where a convenient WC is located on the half landing. The main landing provides access to a versatile dual-aspect reception room or bedroom, enjoying views over Kilkenny Fields and towards the estuary. To the front of the property, the heart of the home is a spacious and beautifully light lounge/kitchen/diner. A striking bay window frames stunning estuary views while flooding the room with natural light. The space is thoughtfully arranged to accommodate both living and dining areas, with a breakfast bar providing subtle division and additional seating. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of eye and base level units, a double oven, integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer, as well as an inset induction hob.
Second & Third Floor
Continuing to the upper floor, a second WC is found on the half landing before reaching the main landing, which serves two generous double bedrooms. Both rooms enjoy delightful outlooks—either across Kilkenny Fields or towards the estuary—with the front bedroom particularly impressive thanks to its bay window and captivating water views. A well-appointed three-piece bathroom completes this level, featuring a bath, wash hand basin and separate shower cubicle, along with additional storage on the landing. Stairs rise further to a loft room, currently used as a bedroom by the owners, but offering flexibility for a variety of uses such as a home office, studio or additional living space.
Location
Offered to the market with no onward chain complications, this exceptional home is ideally situated for easy access to the Lake Grounds, tennis courts, Lido, and the vibrant town centre. The nearby coastal path provides scenic walks stretching all the way to Clevedon, making this a perfect choice for those who enjoy the outdoors as much as a peaceful and picturesque setting.
