Summary - THE FORGE BISHTON ROAD LLANWERN NEWPORT NP18 2DN
Detached character cottage believed circa 350 years old
Set in a sought-after rural location, this detached character cottage offers extended family living across 2,204 sq ft. Believed to date back some 350 years, the house combines original features — exposed beams, inglenook and wood burners — with a modern kitchen/dining room and flexible 4/5 bedroom accommodation. Large, level gardens border a small brook and include a stone patio and a secondary seating area overlooking fields.
The layout suits families who need separate reception space: a spacious lounge, a sitting room with vaulted ceiling and a versatile family room currently used as a fifth bedroom. Practical features include a ground-floor shower room, first-floor bathroom, utility room, double garage with power and light, and a brick-paved driveway providing ample parking. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and there is easy motorway access via Junctions 23 and 24 of the M4.
Important facts and considerations: the property has traditional granite/whinstone walls that are understood to have no insulation, and heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler and radiators. Council tax is reported as very expensive. The wider area is classified as rural with very low crime but recorded as very deprived in area deprivation data. There is no flood risk recorded.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking character, space and countryside privacy but who are prepared to manage older-property running costs and thermal upgrading. The plot and layout offer good potential for sympathetic refurbishment and improvement to modern standards.
