Historical insight .. and what lies ahead Portland Square in Carlilsle was conceived around 1853 as a genteel area of “generously proportioned buildings” for Carlisle’s emerging middle classes escaping the confines of the previously walled City, which was rapidly expanding as the regional Capital following the coming of the Railway and industrial developments.

The handsome stone terraces set around the beautiful railed park were built over a period of twenty years from the late 1860’s, many commissioned by historical figures such as John Huthart of No 5 Portland square who was a wealthy merchant and Mayor of Carlisle in 1860.

The entire square became the expanding headquarters of Cumbria County Council during the 1960’s but gradually fell into decline. The Council finally relocated to modern purpose built offices in 2017.

Halston Homes Limited was formed with the mission of imagining and undertaking a total repurposing of Portland Square’s Grade 2 Listed buildings - to reinvent, reinvigorate and repopulate, - and to preserve the past style and elegance by bringing period modern city living to Carlisle.

With quality, safety, economy and modern living at the fore, Halston Homes devised an ambitious plan laid out over two phases.

Phase 1 - Portland North due to be completed in 2021 consists of thirteen south facing unit bringing a range of one, two and three bedroomed luxury apartments, three to six bedroomed townhouses some with the added dimension of a stunning roof terraces. All have park views and secure EV enabled private parking.

Phase 2 - Portland South is in the planning stage and due to start winter 2021 and substantially follows the North Phase, consisting of more luxury apartments, townhouses within a private gated EV parking scheme.
