This apartment in a former hotel offers breathtaking views of the Teignmouth seafront and is now on the market for £260k.

Portland House on Den Crescent, formerly Portland Hotel, was built in 1825 as part of a terrace of five houses by Andrew Patey of Exeter.

The houses were built at approximately the same time as the neighbouring Assembly Rooms, where balls took place for socialites, making Den Crescent the centre of the town’s social events.

The houses were converted into lavish hotels as Teignmouth’s popularity as a resort town grew, with Portland Hotel sitting at the end of the row and offering views all the way out to Portland Bill on clear days.

Converted recently to an apartment block, Portland House is Grade II listed, featuring freestone parapet coping, slate roofs with brick and rendered stacks, moulded architraves to plate-glass windows, cast-iron trellises and a late 19th century single-storey rectangular porch with a modillion cornice and 3 arches.

The apartment includes a lounge, a kitchen, two bedrooms, one en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom, and a split level entrance hall.

Flat 4, Portland House is being marketed by Bradleys estate agents for £260,000.

James Carden of Bradleys commented: “This is a really pleasant two bedroom upper ground floor apartment located right on the seafront and a level walk to the shops etc.

“It would be ideal for maybe a retired couple or as a personal holiday home.”
