A house portrait, as people search for it, is an illustrated picture of one particular home, usually made from a photograph of the front of it. We make those: upload a photo on create your print, choose one of eight styles (line, watercolour, ink, blueprint, pen and wash, screen print, evening light or charcoal), and you see a free watermarked preview before you pay. You choose and approve the artwork before anything goes to print.
Made-to-order house portraits from other sellers are the other route. In our own check of 40 Google Shopping listings for "house portrait" on 29 September 2026, the median listing was about 37 pounds. Some of those listings are digital files rather than prints, so it's a guide to the market and not a quote.
This page is the ready-made option, for the times you don't have the photo. The house is rented and you can't ask for one without spoiling the surprise, or the person is moving somewhere they haven't chosen yet, or what's being marked is the idea of home rather than one address. These are portraits of houses that don't belong to anybody, sold as they are. Nothing is uploaded: you pick the picture and choose a format. Every artwork here is AI-made and printed to order.
What follows is all sixteen, grouped by the sort of house each one is, so you can find the near-match rather than scrolling a grid.

See this printSee all sizes and pricesCottages and gardens
The soft-edged ones, mostly watercolour, and the group that suits a country move or a house somebody has fallen in love with rather than merely bought.
Cottage Garden, a cottage half-swallowed by a summer garden of hollyhocks and roses, in loose romantic watercolour. The one to reach for when the garden was the reason they bought it.
Thatched Cottage, a storybook cottage with wisteria over the door, in soft golden watercolour.
Seaside Cottage, a whitewashed cottage with a blue door above a shingle beach, made in the style of a vintage travel poster, in azure and sand. The obvious choice for a move to the coast.
The Garden Gate, a weathered gate standing ajar onto a path that winds to a cottage door, in gentle nostalgic watercolour. It belongs with the cottages because of what's at the end of the path.
Streets, terraces and townhouses
The urban half of the collection, and the group with the strongest architecture in it. These suit a first flat, a terrace, or anybody whose house is one of a row.
Terrace in Spring, a row of pastel terraced houses under cherry blossom, as a mid-century travel poster in blossom pink, mint and sky.
Autumn Street, a leafy residential street in full autumn colour, in rich atmospheric watercolour of amber and grey-blue. The same subject as the terrace, six months later.
Townhouse Evening, an elegant Georgian townhouse at dusk with the windows glowing warm, in an oil-painting style, with indigo, amber and stone.
Victorian Villa, a handsome red-brick villa with bay windows and a tiled path, as a crisp architectural illustration. The nearest thing here to a great many British houses.
Mews House, a pretty cobbled mews with hanging baskets, in charming architectural illustration.
The threshold
Three portraits that stop at the front door rather than showing the whole building, which makes them the group that fits any house at all. If you don't know what the place looks like, start here.
The Blue Front Door, a classic panelled door in soft duck-egg blue with a brass knocker and geraniums on the step, in delicate watercolour.
The Welcome Mat, a doorstep still life of mat, wellingtons, watering can and a bay tree, in a painterly style, with olive and terracotta.
The New Keys, house keys on a ribbon on a sunlit sill, in tender ink and wash. It's the first day of a new home, and it's the one that works as a completion-day present when nobody has seen the house yet.
Inside, and after dark
The interiors, plus the one exterior that's about the light coming out of it. This group is about the house being lived in rather than acquired, so it suits a move that happened a while ago.
The Hallway, a cosy entrance hall with coats on pegs, a bowl for keys and patterned tiles, in an oil-painting style, with ochre and teal.
The Bay Window, a curved bay with a dozing cat on the sill, as a clean mid-century graphic in teal and mustard.
The Reading Nook, a worn armchair, a lamp and a stack of books by a window, in a painterly style.
Home at Dusk, a family house at dusk with every window glowing gold against a violet sky, in an oil-painting style. It's outside looking in, which is why it sits with the interiors rather than with the streets.
How to choose one
Two routes. If you know the house, find the near-match: a red-brick villa, a pastel terrace, a cottage behind a gate. Nobody expects a picture bought off a shelf to be their actual address, and the resemblance is the pleasure of it. If you don't know the house, take one of the threshold three, because a front door, a doormat and a set of keys belong to every house there is.
The same sixteen are in the shop, with current prices. All sixteen print on the same formats as everything else here, so the size and frame decisions are the ones on on the wall. And if you do have a photograph after all, the illustration made from it will always be more specific than any of these, and house illustration from your photo says which of the eight styles read as a line drawing or a sketch.
This is the last page of on the wall and the end of the path. It starts again at the move.
