This modern two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Golden Mile View is a straightforward option for first-time buyers seeking an easy commute to Newport and the M4. The block dates from 2007–2011 and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of B. The flat includes an open-plan lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms with wardrobes, a contemporary bathroom and an allocated parking space.
The property is currently tenanted, so internal photos are not available; viewings are highly recommended to assess condition. It is offered chain-free on a leasehold with approximately 107 years remaining. Service charge and ground rent are factored into running costs (circa £1,350 service charge; £150 ground rent annually).
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and off-street parking. The location off Bassaleg Road keeps city-centre amenities, local buses and the train station within easy reach. This apartment suits a buyer wanting a low-maintenance base or a buy-to-let investor looking for straightforward rental stock in a well-connected area.
Be realistic about context: the wider area is classified as very deprived and local crime is above average. Prospective buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and consider the implications of leasehold ownership. Viewing will clarify present condition and any future maintenance needs.
