Compact modern two-bed flat with river access, solar panels and city-centre convenience.
Two double bedrooms in compact 603 sq ft layout
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat occupies a compact 603 sq ft footprint in a contemporary riverside block close to Newport city centre. The open-plan kitchen/living space opens to a riverside footpath, delivering bright aspects and direct access to the River Usk and nearby footbridge. Solar panels and double glazing reduce running costs; mains gas boiler and radiators provide conventional heating.
The apartment is leasehold with a reported ground rent of £250 and an average annual service charge of £1,900 (building maintenance, communal cleaning and insurance). Lease information in the paperwork lists a 125-year term from January 2011; one data point indicates c.95 years remaining — buyers should check the exact lease length before committing. EPC rated C.
Practical positives include off-street visitor parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus easy walking access to shops, restaurants, public transport and the city’s stadium. The property faces an area with higher crime levels and sits in a very deprived ward, which may affect resale values and security considerations.
This is a straightforward, modern flat that will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a city-centre riverside location. It is compact and well-specified but not ideal for buyers needing large living spaces or a low-service-charge freehold property.
