Portland House is a grand Grade II listed property dating back to the early 19th century, offering an outstanding opportunity for sympathetic redevelopment. The property, which extends to over 4,000 square feet, is arranged across four generous floors and features a central balustrade staircase, ornate fireplaces, bay windows, and generous ceiling heights.
