A six-bedroom period property in Portishead, with its own original orangery and self-contained apartment, is on the market for £1.1million. It also boasts stunning coastal views, ample parking, gardens and a home office, making it the perfect place to work from home.
Estate agents at Westcoast Properties describe the property, known as Severnmead, as being “packed with character and charm with many period features on show, such as working shutters on the majority of the sash windows, wonderful original tile flooring, open fires and many more”. They add: “Upon entering, you are immediately greeted by an incredible reception hallway that boasts a striking gallery landing and sweeping stairwell.”
Severnmead can be found just off Nore Park Drive, standing proudly on what is described by agents as a generous corner plot. The entrance to the main residence is found on Severnmead while the entrance to the apartment is located on Nore Park Drive, with parking for multiple vehicles – as well as a double garage – to the side.

The main property boasts two reception rooms, both of which enjoy views out across the coast. The kitchen/breakfast room has been fitted with a range of wall and base units, as well as a central island, and there is ample room for a family sized table and chairs while light streams in from windows and a door to three elevations.
Estate agents at Westcoast Properties go on to say: “One of our favourite rooms has to be the Victorian orangery which runs along the side elevation and is accessed via the living room. Largely glazed windows bring in an incredible amount of sunlight and with the original window mechanism that operates the windows still in excellent condition.
“There is also a wonderful fish pond which has been cleverly installed in the floor among the feature tiled flooring. To the front, a secluded courtyard garden is found, which is south facing, while a door to the rear leads out onto the gardens.”
Upstairs, agents describe the gallery landing as “a pure delight”, which provides access to all four double bedrooms and bathroom. Each of the bedrooms offer views, but two of them enjoy sash windows to two elevations.
The large bathroom boasts a four piece suite, while an airing cupboard houses an upgraded gas boiler system and also has a loft hatch leading to a large area ideal for storage or even a conversion (subject to necessary planning permissions and approvals). The apartment beneath is self-contained and boasts tow bedrooms and a large four piece bathroom suite, as well as a kitchen/dining room fitted with a modern range of units and appliances.
The apartment’s living room has a large bay window with views out over the gardens and beyond. The apartment itself has its own gas and electricity supply with modern fittings, too.
