40 Portland Road was a challenge, not because of what had to be done, rather the amount of work needed to help the property take on a greater status. Apart from the red brick facade and rear, together with its roof structure, everything else had to be replaced. We created a whole new second floor allowing for two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. This, together with the rest of the property, was accessed via a brand new galleried staircase.

The property offers delightful brick faced elevations set beneath a pitched tiled roof with relief offered by sash fenestration projecting single storey front bay to the front façade and brick chimney stacks.

The central reception hall has a quality beige and brown limestone chequered tiled floor and radiates off to the three principal reception rooms. There are splendid period style fireplaces to include a marble surround with cast horseshoe inset in the dining room and a beautiful bath stone surround within the drawing room. Both principal front reception rooms also benefit from solid hardwood floors.

A particular feature is the exceptionally well fitted kitchen/breakfast room with ample additional natural light provided by the large roof light, having double French doors leading out onto the rear terrace, and fitted with a range of quality appliances, granite worktops and limestone flooring with underfloor heating.  There is a separate utility room with a Belfast sink and range of useful storage cupboards and built in store room. There is a cloakroom off and steps lead down to a useful cellar.

Off the first floor gallery landing is located the master bedroom suite with ensuite shower room, 3 further bedrooms, Bedroom 1 /Dressing is fitted with bespoke dressing room furniture. The luxury family bathroom is fitted with large beige marble tiles and has a whirlpool airbath, large shower cubicle with Grohe mixer shower and side body jets,as well as a large dark wooden vanity unit with Jacuzzi Aruba twin sinks inset.  To the second floor are an additional two bedrooms and shower room with beige rolled marble tiles, ceramic floor tiles and Grohe mixer shower in chrome.

The house offers numerous features to include all new double glazed original style sash windows, zone heating control on all three floors, new gas fired central heating and security alarm with passive detectors.

A block paved driveway provides a generous and secure off road parking area to the fore of the residence, entered via electronically operated entrance gates.  The delightful landscaped gardens are situated predominantly to the rear, with an extensive seating terrace and large central lawn. The well maintained gardens have been well stocked with a variety of shrubs and plants and enjoy a fine south westerly aspect. In all the house and gardens extend to around 0.2 acre.
