- Garage and off-road parking included
- Very long lease (circa 966 years remaining)

This third-floor, two-bedroom apartment offers a practical city-centre base with far-reaching views across Newport and the Bristol Channel from a small balcony. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an ensuite; a second double bedroom and main bathroom complete a traditional, easy-to-manage layout. A garage and off-road parking add valuable private vehicle storage in a built-up area.
The property is leasehold with a very long lease (circa 966 years) and an EPC rating of C. A modern kitchen with integrated oven and hob serves a lounge/diner with sliding doors to the balcony. Two large storage cupboards in the inner hallway help with day-to-day organisation in the apartment’s average-sized footprint (about 667 sq ft).
Important practical points: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central boiler, which may increase running costs. The annual service charge is around £2,000 (this includes ground rent) and the lease contains a restriction preventing subletting, limiting buy-to-let potential. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, which is a material consideration for buyers seeking long-term neighbourhood stability.
This flat will suit someone looking to downsize or buy a secure, well-located home near transport links to Cardiff and Bristol, and who values a long lease and private parking. It presents straightforward living with modest running costs to consider (electric heating, service charge) and limited rental flexibility due to the lease terms.
