I can't believe Portsmouth's most expensive home on Zoopla is still on the market after four years

Boasting a hefty price tag of £2.5m, this five bedroom home in Portsdown Hill Road, was previously listed in 2019 but taken off the market until December 2020 - and it has remained unsold since.

This is one of Portsmouth’s most expensive homes - and it has been massively reduced from its original price of £3.35m.

Equipped with a swimming pool and orangery, five bedrooms, five reception rooms and a two-bedroom detached annexe, this home is definitely one-of-a-kind... so why hasn’t it sold?

The interior is opulent and luxurious but despite the price reduction no buyers have been tempted by this extravagent home - and I’m completely baffled.

In the past year, Zoopla figures show that the largest sale in the area has been a four bedroom home in the city which fetched £1,125,000 in March of last year. Other properties in Portsmouth have reached figures as high as £1.6m in the last five years but no residential home has secured anything over this - leading me to believe the price tag is the reason for it sitting on the market for so long.

However, I can completely sympathise with the owners because a home like Winton House has clearly been crafted meticulously with every detail being thought out at lengths - so I can understand why the price hasn’t been lowered again.

The home is on the market with Fine and Country - Drayton which is an estate agents that deals with high end properties in the area.
