This two-bedroom terraced house in West View, Newport offers a straightforward, affordable entry into homeownership or a clear rental opportunity. The property is freehold, set within walking distance of Newport town centre and local schools, and benefits from good mobile signal and fast broadband — practical strengths for modern living.
Built in the early 1900s and extended to the rear, the layout includes a front reception, a semi-open-plan second reception/kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms. The rear garden is a manageable size with lawn, mature shrubs and a shed — suitable for low-maintenance outdoor space or basic enhancement.
The house requires full modernising throughout: cosmetic and likely systems updating are needed, and the EPC is D. The area is described as very deprived with challenged local communities; buyers should factor this into long-term resale and rental expectations. There is no flood risk, council tax is low (Band B) and the property is offered with practical perks like cavity walls, mains gas central heating and double glazing (pre-2002).
This property suits first-time buyers willing to renovate for value, or investors seeking a modest-rate purchase to refurbish for rental. It provides scope to update layouts, finishes and services, but budget and surveys are recommended to confirm any structural or service works required.
