Practical two-bedroom house with garden, parking and good transport links.
Two double bedrooms with open-plan lounge/diner
This two-bedroom semi-detached house on Furrlongs offers a practical family starter home on the outskirts of Newport. The open-plan lounge/diner and a well-proportioned rear garden with brick shed create comfortable everyday living and easy outdoor entertaining. Off-street parking and close bus links add everyday convenience.
Internally the home is presented ready to move into with clearly sized rooms: a 20'2" lounge/diner and two double bedrooms. The plot is a strong feature — a decent rear garden with paved dining area, lawn and mature borders provides space for children to play or for gardening projects. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent.
Buyers should note a number of factual limitations: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central heating system, glazing dates from before 2002, and the property is relatively small at around 577 sq ft. The local area scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived, which may affect some buyers' long-term plans. The house is freehold with low council tax, making running costs comparatively modest.
This home will suit a small family or first-time buyer seeking an affordable, ready-to-live-in house with outside space and transport links. There is straightforward potential to update heating and windows over time, but purchasers should factor these costs into any offer.
