Tucked away in the heart of historic Old Portsmouth, Peacock Cottage is a beautifully presented Grade II listed home that seamlessly blends period charm with modern comfort. Dating from the 17th Century, this delightful two-bedroom cottage boasts a wealth of character, including exposed beams, period-style windows and a quintessentially English façade that hints at its rich heritage. Inside, the property has been thoughtfully updated with contemporary fittings and stylish finishes, creating a warm and inviting space that suits modern living while honouring its past.
The ground floor offers a well-proportioned living area with exposed ceiling beams and an Inglenook fireplace, and an inner hall which leads to a modern kitchen featuring sleek units, integrated appliances and bi-folding doors that open directly onto a private courtyard garden. Upstairs, on the first floor, a bright and comfortable double bedroom and an outstanding wet-room shower room. On the top floor, the principal bedroom boasts a stunning vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, offering a bright and atmospheric retreat. The private courtyard garden offers a tranquil spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation - a rare gem in this historic setting.
