Summary - Portsdown Lodge, Skew Road, Portchester PO17 6AP
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious coastal family home with pool and panoramic Solent views.
Five bedrooms, four en-suites and large master suite
Set on 0.41 acres atop Portsdown Hill, Portsdown Lodge is a substantial five-bedroom detached home with sweeping southerly views across Portsmouth Harbour, the Solent and the Isle of Wight. The house offers nearly 6,000 sq ft of living space, including four en-suite bedrooms, two sunrooms, a large Mark Wilkinson kitchen with Miele appliances, and generous reception rooms arranged for family life and entertaining.
Outstanding entertainment and leisure features include a heated outdoor swimming pool with pool houses, a 26-foot bar/entertainment room with projector, a dedicated home cinema and extensive terraces and patios around the garden. Practical family amenities extend to an integral double garage, large gated driveway, utility and home office, plus generous fitted storage throughout.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: broadband speeds are described as very slow, council tax is quite expensive and the grounds and pool will require ongoing maintenance. There is an external oil tank screened by fencing and some specialist plant equipment (pool pumps, filtration, boilers) that will need servicing. The property’s scale and bespoke fittings make it ideal for families who want space, views and ready-made leisure facilities, but also for purchasers prepared for higher running and maintenance costs.
This is a rare, commanding family home for those seeking substantial indoor and outdoor living, spectacular coastal outlooks and strong entertaining potential. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, views and detailed fittings.
