Portland House
24 Belle Vue Road, Weymouth, Dorset, DT4 8RZ
Lounging elegantly at the top of a slope overlooking the harbour at Portland, this extraordinary house, surrounded by a huge garden and terraces invokes the sophistication and luxury of old-school Hollywood, with its palm-fringed drive, pacific-blue Crittal windows and the house itself dazzlingly white against the blue of the sea beyond.
Looking like an Agatha Christie film set, the luxurious interiors of Portland House have been lovingly put together, retaining many of the original 1930s features such as the kitchen, bathrooms and light fittings. Filled with period furniture, it’s easy to imagine that you’ve stepped back in time. The seductive glamour of the house combined with its brilliant views make a truly unforgettable spot.
A hidden gem on the Dorset coastline, Portland House looks over the glittering water which can rival the Mediterranean on a sunny day. Sitting just out of Weymouth itself, on a quiet residential road, you are welcome to visit this house which is never normally open to the public.
