A handsome Grade II listed mid-terrace townhouse on Portland Street, freshly and sympathetically renovated to retain original period detail. High ceilings, timber sash windows and original fireplaces give immediate character, while modernised kitchen, bathrooms and a gas boiler provide contemporary comfort. The house offers versatile space across basement, ground and first floors — ideal for family life or a professional household wanting town-centre convenience.
The basement delivers an impressive open-plan dining/kitchen plus an additional chamber that could serve as home office, media room or guest suite, subject to listed-building constraints. A recently landscaped rear garden and lower basement patio extend usable living space outdoors. The property is freehold, of generous overall size (about 1,465 sq ft) and lies in a popular, tree-lined central location close to shops, station and local schools.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listing brings planning and consent obligations; some alterations will be restricted and can complicate future works. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, and glazing is secondary — further energy-efficiency upgrades may be limited by listing status. On-street parking (permit) only and the local area records higher crime levels, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this is a stylish period home that balances original charm and recent improvements. It will appeal to buyers prioritising central Leamington living, character features and flexible living space — but those seeking a low-maintenance, fully modernised energy-efficient house or unrestricted remodelling should factor in the listing and some remaining upgrade tasks.
