Portess of Oakham A Legacy of Quality Furnishings
.jpg)
Stepping into Portess of Oakham feels like a journey through decades of local heritage. An independent, family-run business established over 60 years ago, Portess has long been the "go-to" destination for residents of Rutland and Leicestershire looking to turn a house into a home.
While the business originally began in Melton Mowbray, its Oakham High Street branch has become a staple of the local shopping experience, known specifically for its traditional service and high-quality, often British-made furniture.
The Oakham showroom is deceptively spacious, offering a curated selection of home essentials across multiple departments:
Beds & Mattresses: They are a specialist retailer for premium brands like Hypnos, offering everything from organic mattresses to custom divan bases.
Living & Dining: A wide array of sofa ranges (including the popular Lancaster and Kingston collections), recliners, and solid oak dining furniture.
The Rug Room: A standout feature of the Oakham branch is its dedicated rug room, which houses up to 700 different rugs, ranging from traditional patterns to modern textures.
Carpets & Flooring: Portess provides a full service, including free local measuring and estimates for carpets, vinyl, and LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile).
What truly sets Portess apart in the age of flat-pack furniture is their commitment to the customer journey. They offer free local delivery (typically within 25 miles) and, crucially, free assembly in the room of your choice.
Whether you are looking for a small accent chair or a complete bedroom makeover, the team at Portess offers expert, pressure-free advice.
