A spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home on Melfort Road offering traditional 1930s character alongside practical family spaces. Two bay-fronted reception rooms and a neatly arranged kitchen provide flexible living; the low-maintenance, landscaped rear garden and patio are well suited to outdoor family life and entertaining.
Practical strengths include a large driveway for up to four cars, a single garage, Hive smart heating and double glazing (installed before 2002). The property is freehold and positioned within walking distance of primary and secondary schools, shops, regular bus routes and Newport city centre — handy for commuting and family amenities.
Buyers should note the area scores high for deprivation relative to national measures and local crime is described as average; prospective purchasers may wish to factor this into their decision. The house was built in the 1930s with cavity walls assumed to have no added insulation — upgrading wall insulation and modernising windows or services would improve comfort and energy performance.
The layout is well suited to a family or first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-live-in home with scope to update. There is one family bathroom and a small third bedroom, so buyers needing more contemporary layouts or additional bathrooms should consider modest remodelling. A pre-purchase survey is recommended to confirm services, heating, and structural condition.
