A rare, chain-free two-bedroom cottage in Newport that combines character features with clear renovation potential. The home stands out on Upper Power Street with off-road parking and wide, panoramic views from the principal bedroom — a strong practical and lifestyle advantage in this terrace-lined area.
Inside, the layout offers an open-plan lounge/diner with exposed mid-century beams and a separate kitchen, plus a bathroom, separate w.c. and utility room. Two large double bedrooms occupy the first floor; the principal bedroom benefits from the expansive outlook over the city. The property sits on a small but useable garden and has a total of about 646 sq ft of living space.
Buyers should be aware this is a fixer-upper that needs modernization: dated decor throughout, likely no cavity wall insulation, and mid‑century fixtures that will benefit from updating. The area is described as very deprived with blue-collar terraces nearby; however, local crime is low and transport links (M4, Newport Central Station) and broadband are good, making it practical for commuting.
This house will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking value-add potential and quick possession (no onward chain). Expect to budget for modernisation and energy-improvement works, but be rewarded with a characterful home, off-street parking and exceptional elevated views.
