Set in approx. 1.25 acre wooded plot with strong privacy
This detached former rectory (circa 1862) sits within a private, wooded plot of about 1.25 acres and offers a rare chance to create a substantial family home. Generous room proportions include a bay-fronted lounge, library, dining room, sitting room, cellar and a conservatory/utility, plus five main bedrooms, a study and an attic bedroom. Mature trees, a sweeping gravel driveway and a double garage provide privacy and ample parking.
The house retains many original features — high ceilings, sash‑style windows, decorative mouldings and internal shutters — giving strong period character. The roof-mounted solar array remains in place with a confirmed Feed‑in Tariff, which will help running costs once refurbished. Location is practical for family life: just over a mile from Newport town centre and within catchment for well-regarded primary and secondary schools, with good road and rail links to regional centres.
Important practical points: the property requires sympathetic modernisation throughout and buyers should budget for refurbishment. The oil-fired central heating boiler is noted as not in working order and the EPC is rated G. Council tax is in band G and may be costly. Services and fittings have not been tested and any purchaser should obtain professional surveys before exchange.
For a buyer prepared to invest, the house and grounds offer significant upside — plenty of living space, a commanding plot and strong period bones that will reward a sensitive restoration.
