Summary - 29 High Street, Botley, SOUTHAMPTON SO30 2EA
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Exceptional period house on large private gardens in central Botley.
Grade II listed Victorian detached family home on 0.57-acre plot
Portland House is a substantial Grade II listed Victorian family home set on about 0.57 acres in the centre of historic Botley. High ceilings, large reception rooms and original period detail create an elegant family layout with a drawing room, dining room, sitting room, conservatory and a kitchen/breakfast room with Aga. The house includes five generous bedrooms, a cellar, pantry, utility room and two bathrooms.
The plot is a standout asset: gated driveway, gravel turning/parking area, detached garage and professionally landscaped gardens with mature trees, terraces and pathways ideal for entertaining and family life. The conservatory brings the garden into the house and many rooms have wide views over the grounds.
Practical considerations are important. The home is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and can complicate maintenance or upgrades. The property currently has an EPC rating of F and solid brick walls with assumed no insulation, so energy efficiency improvements will be needed despite an electrically powered air source heat pump. Council Tax is relatively high and there are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms.
This house suits a family seeking a character-filled home with generous outdoor space in a very affluent, low-crime village setting, or a buyer prepared to invest in sympathetic upgrading while managing listed-building constraints.
