Portland Terrace

Street guide, Hamble

Portland Terrace is a short row of terraced houses in the village centre, close to the High Street. The terrace is one of the older residential groupings in the village, with houses that date from the nineteenth century. The properties are modest in size, typical of the workers' cottages that would have housed families connected to the boat-building and fishing trades. The terrace has a cohesive architectural character, with matching frontages in brick and render. Properties on Portland Terrace are sought after for their village centre location and their period character, despite being relatively small by modern standards. The terrace is within a two-minute walk of the High Street, the pubs, and the waterfront.
