This well-presented one-bedroom flat offers a compact, contemporary home in the heart of Newport. The living space and modern kitchen feel bright and practical, with fitted appliances and room for a small dining area. Off-street parking and a very long lease (effectively 950 years remaining) are strong ownership advantages for a first-time buyer.
Be clear on running costs: heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC rating is E, so energy bills may be higher than gas-heated homes. The property sits in a very deprived area with very high recorded crime levels — buyers should factor location-related safety and resale considerations into their decision.
Service charges are low (£100pa) and council tax is inexpensive, which helps overall affordability. For someone seeking an affordable, low-maintenance city-centre base with quick access to Newport station, Friars Walk and the M4, this apartment provides a straightforward, ready-to-move-into option. The size (approx. 474 sqft) is compact but arranged for practical use; cosmetic updates are possible if you want to personalise the space.
No flood risk is recorded, and broadband and mobile signal are reported as good. The building dates from the 1980s–90s and has double glazing; buyers wanting major energy or heating upgrades should budget for future works rather than expect them to be required immediately.
