Victoria House, originally constructed in 1856, stands proudly in the heart of Portland's CBD. A stunning Georgian-style bluestone building of days gone by.
Over the years, Victoria House has been a school for girls, a family hotel, private residence, doctor's rooms, and a boarding house, to name a few. In 1989, major renovations took place. With the addition of modern-day conveniences, Victoria House has gone forth to become the thriving guesthouse it is today.
The house features 11 well-appointed bedrooms, ensuites, full kitchen, breakfast room, communal lounge with an open fireplace and sunroom. Reverse cycle air cons, TVs, fridges, tea/coffee making facilities, and more.
Whilst outside, the back veranda catches the glorious morning sun across lovely gardens and meandering pathways to Victoria Cottage. Newly built in 2023, the living area has been recreated from the old garage to reflect a miner's cottage complete with a stone hearth, iron stove, barn door, and more. A beautiful kitchen overlooks the garden while remaining very private for the owner/manager. A downstairs utility room with an extra toilet for visitors provides privacy for the two upstairs bedrooms and bathroom.
Featuring a coastal theme, the main bedroom via French doors allows access to a balcony overlooking the sea, which is conveniently equipped with a TV point and gas outlet for the BBQ with a rangehood. Time to sit, relax and watch the ships come and go or the footy on TV on a Saturday afternoon!
Downstairs there is ample storage, a huge fully lined shed for a caravan or boat with large cupboards and workshop space. Off the kitchen is another 2-bay garage. Both have epoxy flooring, remote roller doors, and sensor lighting.
Set on a generous 949m² allotment, the property is conveniently located between the main street and the waterfront street, giving guests an opportunity to easily get about on foot. Portland has a fabulous mix of beach, port, shops, gardens, history, and eateries.
This is a rare property on offer for the buyer or investor looking for a unique piece of history whilst maintaining an income and seaside lifestyle.
