Summary - 5 PEACOCK LANE PORTSMOUTH PO1 2PA
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Grade II listed 2-bed cottage with beams, bi-folds and private courtyard near the seafront.
Grade II listed cottage with 17th-century character and exposed beams
Tucked away in Old Portsmouth, Peacock Cottage is a charming Grade II listed two-bedroom home blending 17th-century character with contemporary updates. Exposed beams, a vaulted principal bedroom and an Inglenook fireplace provide authentic period character, while a modern kitchen with bi-folding doors opens to a private courtyard for easy indoor–outdoor living.
The layout suits couples, small families or buyers seeking a character home close to the seafront and local amenities. The property measures around 829 sq ft, is freehold and has been thoughtfully updated with integrated appliances, a stylish wet-room shower and practical storage throughout.
Buyers should note material considerations: the listed status will restrict external and some internal alterations and may complicate works. The cottage’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, broadband speeds are reported slow, and the local area records higher crime levels. The rear plot is a very small courtyard rather than a garden, and council tax is above average.
Overall, this is a well-presented historic home for someone who values period charm and location over extensive outside space or large-scale modernisation. It offers immediate move-in comfort with potential to enhance thermal efficiency and connectivity, subject to listed-building constraints.
