PROPERTY DETAILS

The Watch House, an exceptional and architecturally striking detached residence set behind electric gates on the prestigious Nore Road in Portishead.

This remarkable coastal home combines privacy, scale and contemporary luxury, approached via a sweeping tree-lined driveway that provides extensive parking alongside two garages. Above one of the garages sits a beautifully appointed one-bedroom annex, ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or as a lucrative holiday let.

The Residence

Designed with both elegance and versatility in mind, The Watch House offers a substantial and flexible layout with the potential for up to seven bedrooms and five reception spaces, creating a home perfectly suited to both refined family living and large-scale entertaining.

Ground Floor & Lower Level

A magnificent entrance hall stretches the full depth of the property, immediately setting the tone with a sense of space and grandeur. At its centre, an impressive oak staircase rises through the home, connecting each floor with architectural elegance. Two bay-fronted rooms at the front of the property provide luxurious bedroom or reception accommodation, both benefitting from ensuite facilities, with one also featuring a private sauna, offering a spa-like retreat within the home. To the rear, practical living spaces include a well-appointed utility room, cloakroom/WC, and an expansive games or entertainment room with bifold doors opening directly onto the gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The lower ground floor presents a versatile additional space ideal for a gym, studio, cinema room or wellness area, adapting easily to suit a variety of lifestyle requirements.

First Floor – Principal Living Spaces

The first floor hosts the main living areas, centred around a bright and generous landing framed by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling window that floods the space with natural light. To the front, a private study opens onto a balcony overlooking the beautifully landscaped front grounds — an ideal setting for a peaceful workspace. The main living room is both elegant and expansive, with bifold doors leading to a superb balcony terrace that captures spectacular views across the rear gardens and out towards the coastline. At the heart of the home lies the impressive kitchen and dining space, fitted with a comprehensive range of integrated appliances and flowing naturally into a relaxed breakfast and family dining area. For more formal occasions, a separate dining room provides a refined setting for entertaining, while a conveniently located WC completes the floor.

Second Floor – Bedroom Accommodation

The upper floor hosts four generously proportioned double bedrooms, three of which benefit from private ensuite bathrooms. The principal suite enjoys particularly striking views, with bifold doors opening onto a Juliet balcony overlooking the coastline. A luxurious four-piece family bathroom, finished to an exceptional standard, serves the remaining accommodation and completes this elegant level.

The Annex - Positioned above one of the garages, the self-contained annex offers its own private entrance and comprises an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, a modern three-piece shower room, and a double bedroom. This flexible space is ideal for guests, extended family, staff accommodation, or as an Airbnb or holiday rental opportunity.

Gardens & Grounds - The Watch House is set within beautifully maintained gardens to both the front and rear, designed for privacy and ease of upkeep with manicured landscaping and artificial lawns. Mature trees frame the plot, enhancing the sense of seclusion, while the elevated position captures wonderful coastal views, providing a tranquil backdrop for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

The convenient location makes this home the ideal choice to a variety of purchasers, with only a short drive to Portishead's traditional High Street and the delights that the Marina has to offer and a selection of Bars and Restaurants can be enjoy in both locations.
