This three-bedroom semi‑detached home on Francis Street offers a practical, spacious layout for first-time buyers or young families. The generous bay‑fronted lounge and open-plan kitchen/diner create flexible living and entertaining space, while a utility area and ground-floor WC add everyday convenience. Off‑road parking and a single garage sit to the rear, with a level, low‑maintenance garden ideal for children or pets.
Sold with no onward chain, the property benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and straightforward access to the M4 for commutes to Newport, Cardiff and Bristol. Three double bedrooms and an adapted shower suite provide comfortable sleeping accommodation and accessible bathing facilities.
The house presents characterful period features—bay window and chimney breasts—but much of the interior is dated (e.g., older fittings, patterned wallpaper and carpet) and would benefit from cosmetic updating. The area has a high crime rate and is in a very deprived ward; buyers should weigh location factors alongside the property’s positives. EPC is TBC; services include a gas combi boiler and an electrical consumer unit in situ.
Overall this is an affordable, freehold family home with good commuter links and clear potential for improvement. It suits buyers seeking a practical starter home to personalise and upgrade over time, or investors targeting refurbishment opportunities.
