Affordable two-bedroom terraced home with garden and commuter links, ideal for first-time buyers..
GuidE price £140,000-£150,000
A compact two-bedroom terraced house offering straightforward, affordable entry to Newport. The layout suits first-time buyers or commuter couples: bright lounge/diner, fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, and a private tiered rear garden for outdoor use. An allocated off-street parking space sits opposite the house for convenient day-to-day parking.
Practical points: the property is small (approximately 495 sq ft) and finished to a modern, late-20th-century standard with double glazing. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the current EPC is D; running costs are likely higher than gas-heated homes. Construction from the 1983–1990 period and insulated cavity walls are positive for basic thermal performance.
Location is a clear strength for commuters, with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to the M4 and Newport city centre. Local shops, schools and parks are within walking distance. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with ageing urban communities—this can affect resale values and local services, but also keeps the purchase price and council tax low.
This home suits a buyer seeking low initial outlay with daylight living and straightforward maintenance. There is potential to improve energy performance and interior finishes over time, which could add value. Buyers should budget for modest updating and be aware of the neighbourhood profile when considering long-term plans.
