Summary - Glasfryn, Upper West Street SA42 0TH
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Character cottage close to Newport Sands, ideal for downsizers or coastal retreat seekers.
Two double-bedroom Victorian cottage with period features
Glasfryn is a compact, character-filled semi-detached cottage set on Upper West Street in popular Newport. The house retains Victorian features — a stone façade, bay and arched windows, exposed beams and a feature fireplace — that give immediate period charm. The living space is cosy but well-laid-out with a lounge/diner, a practical kitchen opening to a low-maintenance courtyard garden and a useful basement for storage or hobby use.
This property will suit buyers seeking a character home close to the coast rather than a turnkey modern remodel. The cottage is freehold and mains-served for gas, water and drainage, but the EPC is rated E and the original granite/whinstone walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy efficiency and heating costs are likely to be higher than modern builds. Broadband is reported as slow and there is no allocated parking — on-street only — and the plot is very small, which limits outside expansion.
For downsizers, holiday-home buyers or those wanting a second home near Cardigan Bay, the location is a strong draw: Newport village amenities are within walking distance and Parrog and Newport Beach are around a 7–9 minute drive. The cottage’s compact rooms and manageable courtyard garden make everyday upkeep straightforward, while the basement and outbuilding offer extra storage and flexibility.
Buyers should factor in possible remedial work to improve insulation and energy performance, and the restricted plot and absence of parking when considering suitability. This is a character cottage with coastal convenience and clear renovation/efficiency considerations — ideal for someone who values location and period detail and is prepared to invest in modernising the fabric and services.
